David Davis was in Christy's hands when the flag-officer took his leave of the wounded commander. "Dave," said the wounded lieutenant, the next time the steward came into the room, "no more 'massa, no more 'moggywompus, no more 'done do it. You know better than to use such expressions, and you are no longer a 'nigger; you are the ship's steward of the Bronx."
"Sir, the chapel cards; and I believe you wanted to see me, sir?" "Ah, yes, Hazelton; put the cards on my desk. Now, Caruthers, I want to ask you a question before the head and captain of the House that I hope you will answer truthfully. Did you offer a boy in Mr Christy's house money to 'lay out, I believe that was the phrase, a boy in Mr Buller's house in the recent house match."
"And she wouldn't be having one now if we hadn't succeeded in throwing off the rule of a certain person named Eastman and her friends," muttered Bob sotto voce. Alice Waite seconded the nomination. "I can't make a real speech like Christy's," she stammered, blushing prettily, "but I want to call attention to Marie's I mean to Miss Howard's sparkling sense of humor and strong personal magnetism.
The commander went on deck, and the two passengers retired to Christy's stateroom, where they discussed the enterprise for a couple of hours. In the mean time the Chateaugay was making her best speed, for Captain Chantor did not wish to lose any of his chances by being too late; and he believed that the Dornoch must be fully due at the Bermudas.
I was not dismayed by the idea of losing my wealth and rank; I was pleased with myself for my honest conduct, and conscious of a degree of pleasure from my own approbation, superior to what my riches had ever procured. The day appointed for Christy's final determination arrived. I knew by the first motion of his shoulder as he came into the room, what his decision would be.
He had taken it for granted that the steamer would come to pick them up, or in other words, to capture the forty prisoners. If he was weak in accepting as the truth Christy's statement that the boats had been actually sent away, as desired, he could see no reason why the Yankee officer should try to deceive him.
Oh! the thing is, he's a snug man, and money's at the bottom of all, and since Christy's to have the new inn, and Miss Gallagher has the money! Well, it's all over, and I don't know what will become of me. Enter Mr. Mr. H. My gude lad, may your name be Larken? Owen. It is, sir Owen Larken, at your service the son of the widow Larken. Mrs.
Christy's orders required him to capture the steamer that was fitting out in the bay, and he intended to do it. The order to weigh the anchor and cast off the spring was given, and the commander sent for the chief engineer. "We are within a mile of the fort, Mr. Sampson, and I mean to run by it.
"Precisely so; but I hold no official position, and your orders will be put in proper form before you sail," replied Christy's father. "Now, if you will be patient for a little while, I will explain the nature of the special service." "I shall be very glad to understand the subject, and I am confident my patience will hold out to any extent you may require."
Christy's companion in the night expeditions had not expected to be anything more than a midshipman, and he was immeasurably delighted at his good fortune.
