"Please to give him this; and if he wishes to see me, I shall be at Captain Patterdale's house for an hour or two," continued Donald; and without giving the housekeeper time to reply, he hastened off, confident there would be a storm as soon as the eccentric opened the note. In the library of the elegant mansion, he found the party who had been in the Juno, with Captain Patterdale and Nellie.
Captain Patterdale's hat was still there; and, unluckily, there was something else belonging to him which was not there. Captain Patterdale worked with the doctor for a full hour upon poor Michael, who at the end of that time opened his eyes, and soon declared that he was "betther entirely."
