"That is a good point; and to-morrow the witnesses shall be called," said Mr. Lowington. "I will now ask Dr. Winstock to make his statement," added Paul, turning to the surgeon. "The letter is postmarked 'Anvers," said the doctor, picking up the letter from the table. "It is utterly impossible that Captain Kendall had anything to do with this document." "Why so, sir?" demanded Mr.
Paul said "accidentally," because he believed that Shuffles had been betrayed into the revelation by their former intimacy. "And he does not wish to be regarded as an informer," added the principal. "No, sir; after he had excited my curiosity, he told me where I could find the gamblers at play." "I understand his position, precisely," said Mr. Lowington; "and I will not ask his name.
I think I observed to you that there was not a sufficient excuse for his leaving the class." "I will defer the discussion of the matter till to-morrow," replied Mr. Lowington. "I do not object to the delay, sir; but I do object to having any of the statements of the pupil counterbalance those I have made." "Do you wish me to condemn him without a hearing?"
Hamblin distinctly charges him with the act, and I am sorry to add that there is some evidence to prove the charge." Mr. Lowington was more grieved than any other person on board, and it is more than probable that, in his great anxiety to avoid partiality, he ran into the opposite extreme, and exposed himself to the peril of doing injustice to his young friend.
Some of the students wept then; for, whatever charms there were in the voyage before them, the ties of home and friends were still strong. As long as the steamer could be seen, signals continued to pass between her and the ship. "Captain Gordon, has the first master given the quartermaster the course yet?" asked Mr. Lowington, when the steamer had disappeared among the islands of the bay.
Lowington instructed you to furnish the professors with a boat at any time when they desired it." "I will furnish the boat, sir; but I will not expose the crew to such peril. I will hoist out the third cutter for you, sir, if you wish." "I demand a sufficient number of sailors to row the boat." "You will pardon me, sir; but I will not send any seamen into a boat until the squall is over.
The spray broke over the bow, and washed the decks; but most of the boys enjoyed the scene as they had never enjoyed anything before. "What are you doing here, sir?" demanded Mr. Lowington, as he went forward, and discovered Wilton skulking under the lee of the foremast. "You were told to stay in your mess room, sir!" "I couldn't, sir," whined the culprit. "You could, and you will."
"What is the root of the evil?" asked the principal. "Money, sir!" replied the doctor, with unusual energy. "That is said to be the root of all evil," added Mr. Lowington, with a smile. "Among boys, money does more injury than we can comprehend. A college friend of mine was wholly spoiled by his allowance of money. His purse was always full, which made him the prey of dissolute persons.
"'All charges against Captain Kendall being disproved, he is hereby reinstated, and ordered to resume the command of the Josephine," replied the principal, reading the order. "Mr. Lowington, I protest " "I have heard you patiently, Mr. Hamblin, and have given my decision," interposed the principal, directing the students present to retire. Paul bowed to Mr. Lowington, and left the cabin.
"Then we are safe; but the silver pitcher must be forthcoming." "The fellows will all be glad enough to get out of this scrape by paying ten shillings." "Very well; then every one of them must sign an order on Mr. Lowington for ten shillings, payable to Dr. Winstock," added Pelham. "They will do it. Are you sure nothing has leaked out?"
