On the whole, he fancied his chances good; and such he found to be Stimson's opinion, when this experienced sealer was questioned on the subject. "We've begun right in all respects but one, Captain Gar'ner," said Stephen, as he closed his remarks on the subject; "and even in that matter in which we made a small mistake at the outset, we are improving, and I hope will come out right in the end.
My ancestor who first got the place was Lyon Gardiner, an engineer in the service of the colony of Connecticut." "Well, whether he was a lion or a lamb, I'll answer for it the Lord was not forgotten on that island, Captain Gar'ner, and he shouldn't be on this.
An hour later, all doubt was removed, the schooner coming in between Oyster Pond and Shelter Island, and making the best of her way to the well-known wharf. "Isn't it wonderful, Mary," exclaimed the deacon, in a hollow voice, it is true, but with an animation and force that did not appear to have any immediate connection with death "isn't it wonderful that Gar'ner should come back, after all!
I cannot say I have seen even a sign of fear about you, when things have been at the worst." "It would be very ungrateful, sir, to mistrust a Providence that has done so much for me." "I devoutly wish I could believe with you that Jesus was the Son of God!" "Excuse me, Captain Gar'ner; it's jist because you do not devoutly wish this, that you do not believe.
To my eye, Gar'ner, these bergs are separating, leaving us a clearer passage back to the open water." "I do believe you are right; but it seems a sad loss of time, and a great risk, to go through these mountains again," returned Roswell. "The wind has shifted; and the nearest bergs, from some cause or other, are slowly opening; but recollect what a mass of floe-ice there is outside.
"You've been often in them seas, I some think, captain Gar'ner?" said the other, inquiringly. "I was brought up in the business, and have a hankering for it yet," returned the young man, frankly. "Nor do I care so much for charts.
I have heard of some islands where seals abound, and a consort is not quite so necessary to take them, as when one is wrecked." "That alters the case, Captain Gar'ner. Nobody is obliged to tell of his sealing station. I was aboard one of the very first craft that found out that the South Shetlands was a famous place for seals, and no one among us thought it necessary to tell it to all the world.
"I expect the most from it, Gar'ner, as you will too, when you come to hear the whole story." The deacon then went into all the particulars of the revelations made by the pirate to his fellow-prisoner, much as they had been given by Daggett to himself.
The sun was just rising, and the seals were clambering up out of the water to enjoy its warm rays, as they placed themselves in positions favourable to such a purpose. "That is a pleasant sight to a true sealer, Captain Gar'ner," observed Stimson, who as usual had kept near his officer, "and one that I can say I never before saw equalled.
Our crew is used to having a Sabbath; and though we work on lays, there is not a hand aboard us, Captain Gar'ner, who would not be glad to hear the word pass among 'em which should say this is the Lord's Day, and you've to knock off from your labour."
