The master of the Louisa Ann went to the side and shouted down, received an answer, returned and said: "Her name was the Minorca.",“Well, but I want some,” answered Tellef from the tree.,They were all rather serious for a silent moment, and then Patricia spoke. Her clear voice was rather low and timid, but her eyes were shining.,“Well, but I want some,” answered Tellef from the tree.,Captain Acton listened to her with profound interest.
