"Thank you exceedingly, Mr. Keeler. I have enjoyed your breakfast and your conversation very much indeed. Madam," he said, rising and turning to Mrs. Keeler, "permit me to extend to you my heartfelt gratitude for your share in the splendid hospitality that has been accorded me. I hope to see you again, some day."，"What?" Billy could scarcely believe his ears.，"How standing?" bawled Weaver.Whether Lucy would have replied to this cannot be known, for just then the hand stationed aloft sung out: "Sail ho!"

He wondered what she would say when he told her the great news he had to tell her. He thought he knew. She would put her hand on his arm and say: "Billy, I'm glad."

She wore a cloak of crimson; her hat had slipped to her shoulders and her hair glowed softly through the shadowy half lights.
