"WHY! HALLOA!" "What's the matter ?" said both ladies.
Edward drew in his head and regarded them with an expression of some bewilderment.
"It's the _Fair Emily,_" he said, slowly, "and she's hoisting her sails." "Just trying the machinery to see that it's all right, I suppose," said Mrs.Chalk.

"My husband said that Captain Brisket is a very careful man." Edward Tredgold made no reply.

He glanced first at three hats standing in a row on the sideboard, and then at the ladies as they came to the window, and gazed with innocent curiosity at the schooner.

Even as they looked she drew slowly ahead, and a boat piled up with luggage, which had been lying the other side of her, became visible.

Mrs.Chalk gazed at it in stupefaction.
"It can't be ours," she gasped.
