"What do you wish to know about her?" inquired Corny, who was disposed to maintain his equality in spite of the military rank of his companion, which he had incautiously betrayed in the beginning. "Whose boat is it?" asked Mulgate. "She belongs to my cousin, Christy Passford." "Where is he now?" "I don't know, sir." "Was he at the house when you were there?"
I am to conduct the enterprise, and you are to obey my orders. That is the whole of it," replied Mulgate, impatient at the position taken by the young man. "You are still under my command, and you will obey me or take the consequences. Now to business: what have you learned?" "Nothing at all," answered Corny, rather sullenly. "What have you been about? Haven't you discovered anything?"
"He was not; and his mother had become rather anxious because he did not return to supper," replied Corny, becoming a little more pliable. "This is a rather large boat, Captain Carboneer," added Mulgate, as he surveyed the trim sloop. "She is rather too large for our purpose."
"I think Corny had better go back to the house, and keep an eye on Christy, so as to make sure that he does not disturb us," suggested Mulgate, as the planter's son was about to go on board of the yacht. "I think we shall want him, and he had better be with us," replied the captain, as one would speak when he expected to be obeyed. Corny climbed up the stem of the Florence.
Now we will visit the Bellevite, and learn what we can in regard to her," said the naval officer, in his usual quiet manner, and whether he was a Confederate or a Unionist, one could hardly have failed to be impressed by his dignified deportment. At the request of Captain Carboneer, Mulgate climbed to the forward deck of the Florence.
