"I hope so, though I don't know but I should like blue water better than being shut up in these rivers and canals." "You will get blue water enough before the season is ended." In half an hour from Malines, the train reached Antwerp. Mr. Fluxion had arrived before; and there were two tugs at the Quai Vandyck, which had been employed to tow the vessels down the river.
Fluxion glanced at the boats, and gave a few hasty orders, by which the Josephine was headed towards the shore. The cooks and stewards in the forecastle were released, and the chase commenced. "I did not think they were quite so bold as this," said Dr. Carboy. "They will do anything. Cleats thinks more of his stomach than of his duty, or it would not have happened," replied Mr. Fluxion.
We can take a steamer back to Brest. The fare will not be more than ten dollars apiece in the fore cabin." "Why not wait till we see where we are going?" suggested Sheffield. "It may be too late then," answered Perth. "If Fluxion should suddenly head the vessel to the westward, that would mean home.
Fluxion had subjected them, during the absence of the rest of the company in France and Switzerland, had enabled them to make up all deficient lessons. The principal had requested Mr. Fluxion not to assign any studies to his charge, unless it became necessary to do so in order to keep them out of mischief.
Some had already forgotten their numbers, and there was considerable confusion before the order could be obeyed. "Young gentlemen, the books will be opened to-day; and a student who forgets his number again will lose a mark," said Mr. Lowington. "Are they all in their places, Mr. Fluxion?" "They are, sir," replied the instructor, who had just counted them.
Fluxion returned to the consort with the two forward officers, and, taking in the head steward, proceeded to the shore. In half an hour a water boat was alongside the Josephine, filling up the water tanks and casks. Later in the day several shore boats came off to deliver the provisions and supplies which the steward had purchased.
You are directed to report to the principal, with your baggage, on board of the ship." "Am I to be punished instead of that obstinate and impudent pupil?" demanded the professor. "I have nothing to say about it, Mr. Hamblin," added Mr. Fluxion, sharply. "If you are not going to the ship, we will weigh anchor and proceed on our voyage."
They had some difficulty in escaping the observation of their companions who were not in the secret; but they assured them something would be done just as soon as Mr. Fluxion started for Italy, which it was understood, would be on the following day. Berths were assigned to the temporary crew of the Josephine, and at an early hour they turned in.
The Josephine tripped her anchor, and, hugged by the steam-tug, stood down the river on her way to Rotterdam. Mr. Fluxion went below, and installed himself in the state-room vacated by Professor Hamblin. Mr. Stoute gave the vice-principal a hearty welcome; and it was soon evident that they were men who could cordially agree.
"All who have drawn even numbers will take the starboard side of the ship," said Mr. Lowington from his perch on the hatch. "All who have drawn odd numbers will take the port side." "This is the starboard side, my lads," added Mr. Fluxion, the instructor in mathematics who, like the principal, had been a naval officer, as he pointed to the right, looking forward.
