Rento is a pig, let him do the pig things. I go to my bed." He made a motion to go, but the Skipper reached out a long arm, and the next moment the bold youth was dangling over the side of the vessel, clutching at the air, and crying aloud to all the saints in the calendar. "Shall I let go?" asked the Skipper, in his quiet tone. "Ah! no, distinguished Patron!" cried Franci. "Let me not go!

Rento, bring to me the child!" Rento, who had been hovering near, lending a careful ear to all that was said, now vanished, and reappeared, bearing the boy John in his arms. The child was but newly awake, and was still rubbing his eyes and looking about him in bewilderment. "Colorado, the Señor Pike, already well known to you!" said the Skipper, with a graceful wave of the hand.

Far too little laughter has been in thy life so far; here thou shalt be as gay as the sun is bright on the Bahamas. Of what use to be a sailor, if not to rejoice, and to see with joy the works of God and His glory? Laugh, Colorado, the sound is music in my ears!" But by-and-by the play must cease. Orders were given, and Rento and Franci set to work in good earnest.

See, my son, how beautiful the moon on the water! Let us look for a few moments, to take the beauty into us, and then I must send my little friend to his bed, that nothing harmful comes to him."
