The baby, is it? poor little soul! has he lost all that blood? did he cut himself?" Eunice explained, and Cricket told Eliza to unfasten the bandage to ask Mrs. Bemis if it was all right. At the sight of four pink stamps, the doctor's wife exclaimed in astonishment: "What have you put on for a plaster? It looks beautifully done." "Them's postage stamps," volunteered Eliza, quickly.

Sophie Martin was pleased when she heard that this was the ship's destination; for she was very anxious as to the safety of her father and brothers, from whom she had not heard for a long time.
