Colonel Passford had been supplied with money by his government, with what he had raised himself, to purchase larger and more powerful steamers than had yet been obtained, and Captain Rombold appeared to be his confidant, with whom he must have been in communication for a considerable length of time.
"While I must rejoice in my own good fortune, Captain Rombold, I can sympathize personally with a brave commander who has lost his ship," said Captain Chantor, taking the hand of the late commander of the Dornoch. "I thank you for your consideration, Captain.
But his companion walked about the place, and visited the Hamilton, where he again encountered Captain Rombold, who introduced him to Colonel Passford; informing him that he was to be his fellow passenger. When the commander of the Dornoch told him that he might not make a Confederate port for some weeks, if at all, M. Rubempré decided not to take passage with him.
"How shall we move him, doctor?" "Call four of your men; we will carry him to your cabin in his chair, just as he sits; and we can do it without incommoding him at all," answered Dr. Linscott, as he sent his mate to call the men required.

"I am very sorry for him, for he was the equal of your father in every respect, except his loyalty to his true country," added the captain. "Poor Uncle Homer!" exclaimed Christy, as he wiped a tear from his eye. "He was the guest of Captain Rombold; but he has been turned out of his cabin to make room for the wounded." "Dr. Linscott with his two mates has gone to the assistance of Dr.
He was on parole then, and I suppose he and Captain Rombold were both exchanged." "Doubtless he will tell you all about it when you see him, as you will soon." "He had his eyes opened when he passed through New York City with me, for he did not find the grass growing in the streets, as he had expected, in spite of all I had said to him at sea.
It is just an hour by railway, and as the train rushes on you will see on your right a town from the middle of which rises a massive square tower. Rombold.
