"West Indies," said the carpenter. "Bermuda for certain," was another opinion; but Alfonso smiled and said, "Demerara." "Cap'n berry poor sailor, but berry good trader," he informed us in confidence. "Sell 'm stinking fish and buy gimcracks cheap; sell gimcracks dear to Portugee store in Georgetown, take in sugar berry good sugar, Demerara sugar and come back to New York."
Portuguese children from "up Harniss way" sometimes called to peddle huckleberries, but this child was no "Portugee." "Hello!" exclaimed the captain wonderingly. "Did you ring the bell?" "Yes, sir," replied the girl. "Humph! Did, hey? Why?" "Why? Why, I thought Isn't it a truly bell? Didn't it ought to ring? Is anybody sick or dead? There isn't any crape." "Dead? Crape?"

How a creature with her physical energy has managed to lie listless for all these months I can't imagine. It shews strength of character anyway.
