Billy was standing up now, his perplexed face turned questioningly on his chums. "Has Admiral Lawrence been here?" "If your son has sailed," said Captain Acton, with a face charged with perplexity, doubt, irritation, and astonishment, "he had no authority to do so. What has caused him to take this step?
