Captain Shuffles, you will hoist the signal for sailing; send a boat to the Josephine, and I will give you a letter for Mr. Fluxion." The arrangement agreed upon, Captain Shuffles went on deck, and directed the first lieutenant to pipe away the commodore's barge. The third lieutenant was detailed to serve in this boat.
It is possible that we shall have the same difficulty." "Let your captain get under way at once, for the ship will be towed out. If your crew is all right, I should like to transfer a few seamen to the ship, for we are rather short-handed," added the principal. Mr. Fluxion called Captain Terrill, and the order was given to pipe all hands.
The crew were to serve in quarter watches, from eight at night till eight in the forenoon, though the acting watch officers were to serve full time. Night came on with the breeze freshening, and the top-gallant-sail was furled. The Josephine then had all she could carry, for Mr. Fluxion was not a fair-weather sailor, and always crowded on all the vessel would stagger under.
If we show that we are still wide awake, Lowington will take us with him, because he will not dare to leave us on board." "He will leave Fluxion with us." "Not much! I heard some of the fellows say that Fluxion was going to Italy to see his mother, or his sister, or somebody that is sick there." "I heard that."
The money was saved, and he yielded the point. He was conducted to the deck, and when the boats brought the Josephines, who were to visit Germany, to the ship, the runaways were sent to their new quarters, or rather their old ones, for they had spent three weeks in her before, under the superintendence of Mr. Fluxion.

Fluxion, having occasion to go on shore, invited Paul to accompany him. "It will not seem much like Sunday to you in Rotterdam," said the vice-principal, as they landed at the quai. "I supposed the Dutch were very strict." "Some of them are. Look down that street," said Mr. Fluxion, as he pointed to the broad avenue which bordered the great river.
Bowditch's Navigator, an indispensable work to the seaman, was consulted frequently both for the rules and the nautical tables it contains. The course, after allowing for the variation of the compass, was found to be north-east by east, which, agreeing with the calculations of Mr. Fluxion, was given out to the quartermaster conning the wheel.
"But I think, if Holland were blotted out of existence, the world would miss it very much." "This is a great lumber port," said Mr. Fluxion. "Those great rafts which float down the Rhine from Switzerland are mostly brought to this place. I hope the boys will have a chance to see one of those rafts, for they are stupendous affairs.
Four days out, Cape Antonio, on the coast of Spain, was sighted, and for the next two days the vessel sailed along the coast, with the lofty mountains of Spain in full view. Mr. Fluxion was communicative enough to say that the Josephine would put into Lisbon, and await the arrival of the Young America. The intelligence was not pleasant to the runaways.
