'Do clergymen go about among the poor much, sir, at college, before they are ordained? Lancelot smiled, and shook his head. 'I thought so, sir. Our good vicar is like the rest hereabouts.

"Well, sir," said the rear-admiral, sternly, for he was no longer disposed to trifle with any of the crapulous set; "well, sir, what impertinence has brought you here?"

An hour after he had left the sequoia group, Godfrey and his companion had come a mile only a mile for the path was not easy beneath the high vegetation and between the luxuriant shrubs. Neither one nor the other of our friends had seen anything suspicious. Hereabouts the trees thinned out for about a hundred yards or less, the river ran between naked banks, the country round was barer.

"O, I shouldn't wonder if we had a leetle wind afore long." "But if we don't, will we drift back again into the Basin of Minas?" "O, dear, no. We can anchor hereabouts somewhar."
