Slagg willingly promised never again to fire at monkeys, and they proceeded on their way. They had not gone far, when another whirring of wings was heard, but this time the noise was greater than on other occasions. "What is it?" asked Slagg eagerly, preparing for action. "Sure it's a pay-cock," said Flinn.
All the old faces were there, I was glad to see, including even that of Captain Flinn, whose ship, the "Artemise," happened to be in port at the time, and little Fisher, who had recovered in a most marvellous manner from his dreadful wounds.
Looking up lazily at the sight of their boss, when they caught a glimpse of Bob's fresh, young face they evinced a lively interest. "Boys, this is Bob," said Ford, by way of introduction. "Bob, the homeliest of the lot is Merry Dick; the one next to him to the left is Yellow Tom; next is Shorty Flinn and the last is Crazy Ned. "Dick, you're to go over on the West station with Bob for three days.
To-day Barney Flinn, the big red-headed Irishman who had been with Alexandra for five years and who was actually her foreman, though he had no such title, was grumbling about the new silo she had put up that spring.

At length a letter came from Mr Flinn to say that the ship was all ataunto, and would in another eight-and-forty hours be quite ready for sea. It arrived while we were at breakfast; and as he announced its contents and intimated that we must both be off forthwith, I saw my sister Florence go pale to the lips for a moment and then flush up as though the blood would burst through her delicate skin.
Mr Chester, kindly slip up to the topsail-yard and see what you can make out about the strangers, if you please." "I'll come with you, Ralph, my boy," said Mr Flinn. "Four eyes are better than two; and, as I see that the skipper means to give them an overhaul, it is as well that we should learn all we can about them beforehand."
And now I want to speak to you about that poor lad Fisher. I am told he was in the gig with you." "In the gig with me!" I echoed taken thoroughly by surprise. "I assure you, Captain Annesley, I was quite unaware of it, then. Indeed, I was not aware that he had left the ship until Mr Flinn spoke of him as being wounded.
