Shortly afterwards some of the Scranton players appeared on the enclosed area. Their coming was greeted with all sorts of cries, meant, for the most part, as encouragement, and expressing a firm belief in their ability to win out. "We're pinning our faith on you boys. Dugdale, remember!" cried one fellow.
"Very well, Dugdale," he answered, quite good-humouredly, "I can manage the business perfectly well without you; if therefore your conscience" with just the faintest suggestion of a sneer "will not permit you to take an active part in it, you are quite welcome to stay below until the affair is at an end, when I will call you."
"Lend me your hammer and a chisel, if you please, Mr. Dugdale," said the officer. "Please read that paper over again, will thee?" asked the Quaker. The officer once more read the warrant. "I see nothing there which says I must furnish thee with tools to open my door. If thee wants a hammer, thee must go elsewhere for it; I tell thee plainly, thee can't have mine."

"Mr Dugdale, be good enough to find Mr Bates, and tell him that I shall feel obliged if he will come to me for a few minutes in my cabin." I touched my hat, dived down the hatchway, and gave the message, whereupon the master stepped out of his cabin and made his way aft. He was with the captain nearly half-an-hour; and when he re-appeared he looked as pleased as Punch.

He has invited Dr. Latimer, Professor Gradnor, of North Carolina, Mr. Forest, of New York, Hon. Dugdale, Revs. Carmicle, Cantnor, Tunster, Professor Langhorne, of Georgia, and a few ladies, Mrs. Watson, Miss Brown, and others."
