Has there ever been any gambling among the officers in the after cabin ?" "I never saw any, or heard of any.

I don't think there has been." "I hope not; but we must grapple with this question in earnest," added the principal, as he led the way out of the state room into the main cabin.

"I detected them in the act myself," added Mr.Lowington.

"You may retire, Mr.Kendall." "Why, this is awful!" "Boys will do almost anything that men will," said Dr.Winstock, the surgeon.
"Drinking and gambling!" ejaculated the chaplain.

"What are we coming to ?" "I fear there are other vices of which we know nothing yet," added the doctor.
"Why, I'm afraid the Academy Ship will prove to be a failure, after all," sighed Mr.Agneau.
