Genuine anxiety is fertile in expedient; Orion had scarcely done speaking, when Nilus had a proposal to make which seemed well calculated to dispel the youth's last objections. Melampus, the chief shipbuilder, was a Greek and a zealous Melchite, though he no longer dared to confess his creed openly.
“Dave” was Mr. Pollard, the inventor of the Pollard Submarine boat. “No, sir,” Captain Jack replied. “We have thought,” resumed Mr. Farnum, quietly, after blowing out a ring of smoke, “of calling the third boat, now building, the ’Benson.’” “The—the—what, sir?” stammered Jack, flushing and rising. “Now, don’t get excited, lad,” laughed the shipbuilder.
"I reckon," muttered the shipbuilder, "It won't be any use to have any Japanese aboard here as steward, or as anything else." "I shan't hire any more of them," Benson replied. "I shall always suspect a spy, after this, when I see any Japanese aboard any kind of a war craft, or serving at any military post." "I'm sorry I missed seeing Eph do the flying somersault act, though," laughed Mr. Farnum.
Quinn to invite them to stay with him in the next vac. It was then that Ninian decided that he would like to be a shipbuilder. Mr. Quinn had taken them to Belfast to see the launch of a new liner, and Tom Arthurs had invited them all to join the luncheon party when the launch was over.
Besides, seaway was needed, with the rival craft coming up behind. His work in the conning tower done, Captain Jack sprang out on the platform deck, bounding beside Lieutenant Danvers at the starboard rail.

"Et sutor bonus, et solus formosus, et est rex."
Meanwhile Madame de Noailles read her breviary and told her beads and took little naps, wholly ignorant of the drama that was beginning its perilous unfolding before her. When the Sieur de Roberval returned, the shipbuilder became a mere shipbuilder again.

Farnum had already ascertained that the naval board which was to be in charge of the tests was quartered at the leading hotel on shore. Hence, in landing, the shipbuilder was really killing two birds with a single stone, as he intended to report at once to the head of the board for whatever instructions the latter had to give. "We may as well go up, to the hotel in style," announced Mr.
"Oh yes, my friend the shipbuilder a very worthy gentleman, and his wife an estimable lady. They have an energetic and noble daughter and a promising son. I have an engagement to-night, another to-morrow, but shall be at home to-morrow evening, and I would like to have you and your young friends take supper with us. I will tell you something that your father would like to know."
