She took no notice of her fellow-voyager as she lightly stepped exactly in the centre of the canoe, and sank down on the rug in front of him, with the ease of one thoroughly accustomed to that somewhat treacherous craft. The two stalwart boatmen one at the prow, the other at the stern of the canoe with swift and dexterous strokes, shot it out into the stream.
Under such disadvantageous circumstances, it is not to be wondered at that the sailor-boy found but few opportunities of holding communication with the half-caste girl, who, by the singular chances already stated, had been his fellow-voyager on board the ill-fated bark.
Parmalee walked with some difficulty, leaning on a cane, and Drew had to moderate his pace to keep in step. When they emerged into the full light of the upper deck, Drew had a chance to gain an impression of the man who was to be his fellow-voyager.
About midnight on that eventful landing, "Boz," everybody called him "Boz" in those days, having finished his supper, came down into the office of the hotel, and, joining the young Earl of M , his fellow-voyager, sallied out for a first look at Boston streets. It was a stinging night, and the moon was at the full.
Miss Drayton explained her prolonged absence by relating to her sister the story of their little fellow-voyager. Mrs. Patterson's languid air gave way to attention and interest. It was pitiful to think that so near them a deserted child had sobbed away the lonely hours of the long night.

He perceived the peril that lay hidden under the strange and lonely position of his fellow-voyager so innocent in the ways of the world, so young and so easily impressed His fondness for Amelius, it is hardly too much to say, was the fondness of a father for a son. With a sigh, he shook his head, and gathered up his letters, and put them back in his pockets. "No, not yet," he decided.
He was pinning to the lapel of his coat a tiny bunch of violets, and his face was turned from his fellow-voyager. "Both are ladies of decided individuality. They are amazingly beautiful, too, and possess unusual force of character, especially the captain's lady." "Damn the captain." "So say I. You stole a march on him in the Hesperian Garden, and we both escaped the jaws of the absent Dragon."
The long slim throat, the sloping shoulder, not to be disguised even by the clumsy folds of a thick shawl these the traveller noted, in a lazy contemplative mood, as he lolled in his corner, meditating an easy opening for a conversation with his fair fellow-voyager. He let some little time slip by in this way, being a man to whom haste was almost unknown.
