As the ship drew nearer and nearer, she showed herself to be a large vessel a handsome bark. About half a mile from the shore, she lay to, and very soon a boat was lowered. Edna's heart beat rapidly and her face flushed as, with Ralph's spy-glass to her eyes, she scanned the people in the boat as it pulled away from the ship. "Can you make out the captain?" cried Ralph, at her side.
"It needs no spy-glass to see, that, while the old people say, 'Go, the young people would like to stay where they are." "You do both of the young people much injustice then; for, until yesterday, I never laid eyes on the person you mean." "Ah! I see how it is; the owners of the 'Caroline' have not been so civil as they ought, and you are paying them a small debt of thanks!"
"Tall tree, Spy-glass Shoulder, bearing a point to the N. of N.N.E. "Skeleton Island E.S.E. and by E. "Ten feet." A tall tree was thus the principal mark.
We pulled easily, by Silver's directions, not to weary the hands prematurely, and after quite a long passage, landed at the mouth of the second river that which runs down a woody cleft of the Spy-glass. Thence, bending to our left, we began to ascend the slope towards the plateau.
Again to-day we wished to go to the rock, when Ursula took the spy-glass from my hands, and said that we might go, but that we must not take it with us; that it could not help Walter to come back, and that we should see him without it as well as with it.

Mr Vernon had gone away in the second gig at an early hour; and she was now alongside, while he, with his boat's crew, were on board. We could see him standing with Miss Blanche Norman on deck. "More gallant knight or fairer lady never trod this mortal world," quoth our poetical Third, as he took a sight at his brother officer through his spy-glass.
I waved my handkerchief, and then in our eagerness we shouted out at the top of our voices, as if the faint sounds could be carried as far as the ship. Presently our hearts sank, for there was no doubt that the ship was keeping away. Still, should anyone on board be using a spy-glass, and turn it towards us, we should, we hoped, be observed.
He also carried a malacca cane, which he deposited upon my desk, and a gold-rimmed spy-glass which, with a gesture of supreme affectation, he raised to his eye. "Now, M. Hector Ratichon," he said abruptly, "perhaps you will be good enough to explain." I had risen when he entered. But now I sat down again and coolly pointed to the best chair in the room.
May drew near; and one afternoon, when Grayson and I took our walk up through the Gap, he carried along a huge spy-glass of mine, which had belonged to a famous old desperado, who watched his enemies with it from the mountain-tops. We both helped capture him, and I defended him. He was sentenced to hang the glass was my fee.
John not only read the Bible, but he profited by what he read, and so did his children; and that is the reason why they were a happy, united, and prosperous family. Some time after Christmas, John Hadden had gone out by himself on the sea-shore, with his constant companion, his spy-glass, under his arm.
