Three or four berths, near the stove, shaped like those found in the steerage of a ship, completes a description of every thing in the Californian Retreat worthy of notice.

These were retained by the master of the ceremonies, and conducted to a richly- ornamented saloon, where a gigantic wine-bowl standing on a table adorned in the Greek fashion, invited to a drinking-bout.

To this, Dyke had been brought, Dyke, than whom no man had been more honest, more courageous, more jovial. This was the end of him, a prison; this was his final estate, a criminal. Presley found an excuse for riding on, leaving S. Behrman behind him.

He sighed, looked away, and remarked that it was time to put out the lamp in the saloon. The permission was only till ten o'clock. "But you needn't mind that so much in your cabin. Just see that the curtains of the ports are drawn close and that's all. The steward might have forgotten to do it. He lighted your reading lamp in there before he went ashore for a last evening with his wife.
It was of considerable size, with heavy lateral beams across the ceiling built, like the rest of the house, with a certain maritime strength and looked not unlike a saloon cabin.
Abaft the funnel the deck was free to those of the passengers who held saloon tickets, but afore the funnel that is, on the bridge itself no one was allowed without the captain's special permission.
