"That, sir, I couldn't say," answered Captain Weaver. "But we might take it as his having heard it after eight o'clock." She appeared to be listening: then with a profound curtsy, said: "I thank your Royal Highness for your gracious condescension. It is not my wish that this unhappy man should be severely punished.

He cried, in a voice that was like mimic thunder in its power, and breaks, and falls: "I'll be with you in a minute. She is too far off, I suppose, for the glass to resolve her." Only a little bit of sea lay within his sight; that which he had seen ran in blue ripples between the points of cliff which framed the entrance to Old Harbour. Though the[Pg 167] scene was distant, his sight, for a man of advanced age, was fairly good, and even all that distance off, he could without much difficulty distinguish the fine lines of the Aurora's masts bearing their trucks high above the spars and rigging of the vessels abaft and ahead of her.
