He took his ship out gallantly, but the flag-ship dare not attempt it Dibbs was the only man who knew the passage thoroughly. He managed to land on the shore below the harbour, and then, with a rope round him, essayed to reach the flag- ship from the beach. It was a wild chance, but he got there badly battered. Still, he took her with her Admiral out to the open safely.
They speak to-day of a member of a despised race, as one who showed "The constant service of the antique world." "Now listen to me, Neddie Dibbs," she said, as she bounced the ball lightly on her tennis-racket, "you are very precipitate.

Dibbs," broke in the other severely, "you will allow me to be a better judge what is it?" The housemaid had opened the door to announce Miss Bride. "Miss Bride?" echoed the lady in astonishment. "Very well; show her into the drawing-room." The visitor waited for nearly a quarter of an hour.
That was how Dibbs became captain of a great iron-clad. Archie Harman did not resign; Dibbs would not let him.
