He’s over at the spillway. Shoot me over?”，Big Chief Whitney laughed. “It would have come sooner or later, so don’t worry your head about it. I’ve got to beat this some time and it might as well be now. I’ll find a way. But don’t let this bother you, kid. These are my exclusive troubles. Some day or other, if you stay with the Service, I suppose you’ll be a Chief Engineer and then you’ll have to worry over things like this. No use in borrowing trouble.” And with this he closed the talk.，"What do you say? I thought you loved the girl?"，"She won't have you.""Lilias must have been quite a child then," says Lady Rodney.

"Yes; since I am here I should like to see the ship," answered Lucy.,"I fear there is no doubt of it, sir," says Jenkins, respectfully, who in his heart of hearts looks upon this timely accident as a direct interposition of Providence.

They spent delightful hours rehearsing the stories of favorite books, and otherwise amused themselves by improvising tales of marvellous adventure. The school children sent notes, the latest school jokes, and original pictures, interesting if sometimes not quite clear as to meaning. Clarence indited his first letter. Here it is:,"Am I not?" says he, humbly, putting on his carefully crestfallen air that has generally been found so highly successful. "Tell me my fault.",All this time they were striving as hard as they could to turn the boat toward shore. Johnny’s thoughts ran on:,At first, however, it was a little ceremonious.

Father and Mother, too, although they smiled, were somewhat serious. Mother’s eyes even had tears in them.,"He is not my enemy. My dear boy, spare me a three-act drama.
