She said she was not going to repine and languish in sorrow. Her conduct shocked the staid Puritans, and her fine apparel was ungodly in their eyes. Weeks rolled on, and no news came from the good ship Silverwing; but they might not hear from her for months, and Mrs. Stevens did not borrow trouble.
It was large, well manned and officered, and few had any fears of risking a voyage in the stanch craft Silverwing; but John Stevens could no more allay his fears than control the storm. His wife, who stood weeping on the strand, became a speck in the distance and then disappeared from his view.
Among them was the unfortunate captain of the Silverwing. John was standing at the time near the wheel, and fortunately had hold of the taffrail, which enabled him to resist in part the weight of the wave. He was, however, swept off his feet, and dashed against the main-mast. So violent was the jerk from the taffrail, that it seemed as if it would have dislocated his arms.

A little capital in hand would give you a chance to water the Panhattan stock and develop a new lead in the Silverwing." "If you use money that does not belong to you, you will be a thief!" "If you do not use it, you will be a pauper. You have paper out now to five times the amount of your income.
