There was nothing to prevent Captain Fitzmaurice being a good deal with us. We had picnics, tennis parties, rides! Long before the six months were up I understood how foolish I had been.

He had, no doubt, meant to return it in the letter left uncompleted.

Not only its mental, but its moral maturity, seems so much in advance of his uncompleted twenty-third year.
Peth and Doc Bird, seeing the steamer approaching, attempted to leave the island on an uncompleted raft, which broke up with them, and both were drowned, Doc clinging to the mate when they were thrown into the water.
