Leopold blew his horn again and again, and the responses came nearer and nearer every time. The craft was evidently bound up the bay, or into the Rockhaven river. If she was going to Rockland, or up the bay, she was very much out of her course. If she was going into the river, she was more likely to strike upon the ledge than to hit her port. "Ahoy!
In the tightly-closed cabin the derelict hunters were now at the mercy of the mysterious influence an influence they could not see or guard against, and from which they were in deadly peril. STRANGE things happen on the ocean. Sometimes slight occurrences lead to great results. When the sailors deserted the brig Rockhaven, provisioning their boats in a hurry, one water cask was left behind.
Even Rose whispered to Bob that "he was not so bad, when you got acquainted with him." "Now I suppose you would like to hear the story of the abandoning of the brig Rockhaven," said Mr. Blowitz, and the boys nodded. "I hope no one was drowned," exclaimed Olivia. "Not as far as we know," replied Mr. Blowitz.
Though the party was large enough to enable them to "have a good time" without any assistance from outside of the hotel, they invited many of the people of Rockhaven to join them in their indoor amusements. As Mr. Hamilton was a native of the town, he was quite at home there, though he had been absent from his boyhood.
About the middle of October the steamer brought to Rockhaven a woman, apparently about forty years of age, who registered her name at the Cliff House as Miss Sarah Liverage. Though it was certain, from her own confession, that she had never been there before, she seemed to know all about the hotel, and all the persons connected with it.
The money was American coin, which Joel Wormbury had probably purchased in Havana, to avoid the necessity of exchanging it after his return to Rockhaven. Mr. Hamilton counted the money, and found that Harvey Barth's statement was again correct. "Now figure it up, my boy. Then we will finish this transaction at once," said the merchant.
"We are prepared for a long cruise," spoke Ned, "and it doesn't matter which way we go. How would it do to go about in big circles, taking a new one every day?" "That's a good plan," said the owner of the Rockhaven. "We might try it, at any rate." So this was done. With chart and compass Mr.
My boat is as stiff as a man-of-war, and you can go a great deal easier in her than you can climb over the rocks on the other side of the river." Miss Liverage considered the matter, and after dinner she decided to undertake the hazardous trip, as she regarded it. She had an engagement the next week in New York, and she could not remain in Rockhaven more than a day or two longer.
"It's big enough to weather quite a gale, and you could carry provisions enough for two weeks." "It certainly is a fine craft," went on Mr. Blowitz, as if he was thinking of something. "A fine craft." "Did you ever hear anything more of your brig, the Rockhaven?" asked Nellie. "Yes, I did," was the unexpected answer. "In fact that was why I went out rowing to-day.
"Thank you for your kind consideration." "We didn't suffer much for the want of you, Charley Redmond," added Belle. The party immediately embarked in the Rosabel, which was soon under way on the return to Rockhaven. But the wind was dead ahead, and even fresher than when they had come down to High Rock. Leopold stood directly out to sea, making only one tack in reaching the river.
