The crow lifted the other foot and with much fluttering and complaining managed to get all the way around. "I'm afraid I don't quite understand—" commenced the amazed Stanhope. The cabin—the "great cabbin," as it would have been called by our ancestors—was empty of everything but its furniture. Captain Acton knew his ship. He walked straight to the door of the Captain's berth or cabin—that compartment in which Mr Walter Lawrence[Pg 436] had locked up Miss Lucy Acton—and threw it open.
