"Howe was the greatest of sea officers. Are you gentlemen making a voyage of discovery or of pleasure?","Well, that's my place," answered Stanhope. "How am I navigating, Billy?","From Oozles.",Mr John Eagle made no answer.,Something else was to happen shortly to make Billy feel that his world was full of mysterious agents sent for no other purpose than to give him fresh worries.，Sir William again asked Captain Acton if he had heard the news.，"Oh, madam, my dearest madam," exclaimed the Admiral in a voice broken with feeling, "how am I to thank you? What words do your angelic goodness leave me for the conveyance of my gratitude?"，Maurice puckered up his lips and gave an answering call. It was returned almost immediately. A moment later two more boys came into the moonlight.It would have been difficult to tell what was[Pg 304] in Mr Lawrence's mind as he stood viewing Paul for some moments in silence, after that arched-legged hunchback had ceased. He said in a voice without a tremor, in tones as steady and collected as those in which he would ask a man how he was or bid him good-morning: "Have you ever met with mad people?"

It was two bells in the afternoon watch—one o'clock—at which hour the frigate and the schooner had closed each other. By this time the ship ahead had been raised to a full sight of her hull. But long before this she had been made out as the Minorca, by that unmistakable signal of her character—the fore-and-aft canvas on her mizzen- and top-masts. The breeze was steady.

The Admiral seemed to find something to delight him in the prospect, and Captain Acton standing at his side viewed a scene, very familiar indeed to him, with pleasure, which increased with the attention he gave it.,Almost simultaneously with his words the whistle of strong wings grew up and the six big blacks swept in, low over his decoys.,The Admiral's face wore an expression that was almost imbecile with bewilderment.,"That young fellow came aboard not long ago," said the mate, "and I asked him his business.
