He rubbed his eyes, and removing his pipe from his lips strained his gaze once more at the shipping in the Harbour.,"You are a Portia," said Captain Acton.,The deacon stood perplexedly scratching his head. Then he started forward on a run to tell those who had planned with him a little surprise gift for the fishermen of the perfidy of human nature.,Billy waited for no more. He was up and away like a shot. Mrs. Wilson, clutching her gold piece in one hand and brushing back her deranged hair with the other, went back into the house.,"What a lot of ships!" she cried.，"The news does not surprise me," said Lucy. "I think I told you this morning, sir, that Sir William wished to see you. Do you like the idea of commanding the Minorca?"，CHAPTER XVI BILLY MEETS A DIVINITY，"Yep."
