Through the thin blind which screened the glass partition she could see that he was disappointed at not finding Emily there. He was about to go out again, when Emily's form darkened the doorway, hastening home from some errand. At sight of Jolliffe she started back as if she would have gone out again. 'Don't run away, Emily; don't! said he. 'What can make ye afraid?
"I feel very much inclined to argue the truth of that saying," replied Jack; "but it's no use just now. I'm terribly hungry when shall I get some breakfast?" "To-morrow morning at half-past eight," replied Mr Jolliffe. "Breakfast for to-day has been over these two hours." "But must I then go without?"

Jolliffe had the advantage over his shipmates, of first hearing Jack's adventures, with which he was much astonished as well as amused even Captain Wilson was not more happy to see Jack than was the worthy master's mate.
