CHAPTER XXVII.
CAPTAIN LITTLESTONE IS FOUND, AND THE REV.MR.WOLSTON IS SEEN FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Jack, on arriving at the hotel, ascertained the number of the room in which Captain Littlestone was located.

In his hurry to see his old friend, the young man did not stop to knock at the door, but entered without ceremony, with Fritz and Willis at his heels.

They found themselves in the presence of two gentlemen, one of whom sat with his face buried in his hands, the other was reading what appeared to be a small bible.
The latter was a young man seemingly of about twenty-four or twenty-five years of age.

He had a mild but noble bearing, and his aspect denoted habitual meditation.

His eyes were remarkably piercing and expressive; in short, he was one of those men at whom we are led involuntarily to cast a glance of respect, without very well knowing why; perhaps it might be owing to the gravity of his demeanour, perhaps to the peculiar decorum of his deportment, or perhaps to the scrupulous propriety of his dress.
