Ferrolan had retired to the library; for though they were very familiar with India and its people, they desired to freshen their memory among the books. Miss Blanche was walking the deck with Louis on one side of her, and Sir Modava on the other.
"So shall we all!" exclaimed Sir Modava, taking the hand of the commander. "I indorse the sentiment," added Dr. Ferrolan.
Everybody was unusually social; but as the commander had announced that the particulars of the wreck of the Travancore would be detailed in due time by Dr. Ferrolan, the subject was ignored, and the voyage of the Guardian-Mother was the general subject of conversation.
"She was wrecked in the Arabian Sea in a collision, and went to the bottom after holding us up for a few hours. We were rescued from certain death by this steamer, and we have been treated with the utmost kindness and consideration," said his lordship quite hurriedly. "Sir Modava Rao and Dr. Ferrolan are on board.
Sir Modava and Dr. Ferrolan also declined, for reasons given. The company had called upon some of the officials of the government and officers of the army, at the request of his lordship, and most of them made parting calls the next forenoon; and the viceroy sent his private secretary, with the best wishes of his Excellency for a prosperous voyage, to them.
Ferrolan," he continued as those from the first cutter crossed the deck; and he grasped the hand of the person addressed, "let us thank God first, and then the commander of this ship, that we have been preserved, all the ship's company, I am informed." "I join you most heartily, my Lord," replied the doctor. "Captain " "Captain Ringgold," prompted Mr. Boulong, by whose boat he had been saved.
Ferrolan was a more inveterate smoker than his companions in misfortune, and he went with the commander to the deck, and was invited to the captain's cabin, where he was provided with cigars. "As you have already learned, Doctor, I am greatly interested in the educational feature of my ship," said Captain Ringgold, after they had conversed a while.
Most of the party were provided with tune-books, and the captain gave out "The Life-Boat." Lord Tremlyn and Dr. Ferrolan joined in with vigorous bass voices.
The next morning Captain Ringgold obtained the ready assent of the two gentlemen to take part in the conference appointed for half-past nine, and later that of Dr. Ferrolan.
Louis took Miss Blanche to the place next to his mother, and seated himself at her right. Dr. Hawkes took possession of Dr. Ferrolan, and placed himself and Uncle Moses on each side of him. The professor took charge of Mrs. Blossom. The captain invited those who remained standing to take such seats as they chose; and when all were placed at the table, he reverently said a brief grace.
