He was there when you came on deck."，"Did no mutiny amongst the crew follow?" enquired Captain Acton.，When, at last, the boys had all been attended to, Mr. Johnston paused for rest. "I shall now begin on the girls," he said, "but before administering punishment I am going to give the guilty boy, or girl, one more chance to confess. Will the one who put the sulphur in the stove stand up?"，"You're a pair of plotters," cried Erie, "and being a weak, helpless girl I suppose I'll have to agree with you and submissively roast those birds to suit your taste.""'Billy,' Mr. Maddoc says to me, 'would you go on a piece an' leave me alone with this man.
