"O, I hope he will come back by this route!" cried Harriet. "Of that there is small likelihood," said Betty.
The mild-looking gentleman who gave his name as Harris declined courteously, averring that he had brought a sandwich with him. The Commander thereupon turned him over to the Second Officer under whose somewhat impatient escort Mr. Harris made a thorough tour of the ship, peering into everything and asking a number of questions.
