The captain's gaze wandered from his old craft to the small vessels dotted about the harbour and finally dwelt admiringly on the lines of the whaler Seabird, which had put in a few days before as the result of a slight collision with a fishing-boat.

Presently a fishing-boat drew near, and I rushed to get a view of it; but it was a very ordinary looking boat, bobbing up and down, as any other boat would have done; yet, when I considered that the solitary man in it was actually a born native of the land in sight; that in all probability he had never been in America, and knew nothing about my friends at home, I began to think that he looked somewhat strange.
Accordingly when they saw a reception which was neither royal nor splendid nor corresponding to the expectations of Theophanes, but a few men in a fishing-boat sailing towards them, this want of respect made them suspect treachery and they advised Pompeius to row back into the open sea, while they were still out of reach of missiles.
They became larger still, and in the failing light Hillyard was just able to distinguish that they wore the grey uniform of the Guardia Civil. "Let us pray," said Medina with a note of anxiety in his voice, "that they do not become curious about our fishing-boat out there!" As he spoke the two horsemen halted, and did look out to sea. They conversed each with the other.

I have never been to sea, and know not how I shall bear it. Are you a good sailor?" "Yes; I used to go out very often in a fishing-boat at Dunkirk, and never was ill from the first.
