The man came a-pawing along in the dark, and when Packard got to my stateroom, he says: "Here come in here." And in he come, and Bill after him. But before they got in I was up in the upper berth, cornered, and sorry I come. Then they stood there, with their hands on the ledge of the berth, and talked. I couldn't see them, but I could tell where they was by the whisky they'd been having.
"Pray forgive me," I said hastily, "pray forgive me, Madam. I was under the impression that this was stateroom B-34." "It is," she answered in a manner which but served to increase my perturbation. "What of it?" "Nothing," I said, "nothing except that there must be some mistake. I was given to understand that I was to occupy B-34, sharing it with a Major Jones, a military gentleman, I assume."
" Yes, it was," replied the messenger, who appeared excited, "an' these fellers can get home without you, for our manager says he'll pay their fare.

"Oh, but what an experience!" lamented Miss Pennington, as she sank into a steamer chair after the rescue. "I wonder what sort of a stateroom we'll have here, Laura?"

Thereupon Tom told of having purchased the gift for Mary, and of having, at the last minute, told Eradicate to put it in a box and deliver it at the Nestor home. "Which he evidently did," Tom went on, "but when it got there Mary's present was in a box labeled 'Dynamite. Handle with care. I never sent that." Mr.
One donkey engine after another ceased to puff, and the littered decks were cleared. "Let's watch the late-comers get aboard," suggested Ned to Tom, when they had arranged things in their stateroom.

When the sun began to decline Mona arose to return to her stateroom, but she was still so weak she could not walk steadily. The young man sprang at once to her side. "Let me help you," he cried, offering his arm to her.
It's like old times to be going off into the jungle or wilderness camping," said Mr. Damon. "Did you see anything of the Fogers?" asked Ned of his chum. "Not a thing.
