"Good-bye, Sir William," said Lucy, and in silence the two gentlemen watched her walk to the gate and pass out. Captain Acton sent a swift and searching glance at the shipping in the distance. He then with quick steps fetched his glass. By his movements and countenance the Admiral immediately perceived that he did not know his ship had sailed. He pointed the telescope at the shipping.

"Ye best be lavin' now, both av ye, wid yer pranks.".
