"Never mind him," said Sprague, "two of you hustle down and push off the boat, it will take us three trips to get the tent and everything on board." It was a small one, and they had nothing in it except their blankets and some cushions and pillows from the yacht. The Chief, still muttering and complaining, was sent out on the first trip, with Jimmy Toppan and Ed Mason.

"It is certainly the noisiest city in the world," Edith said; "but it is also the jolliest. I am going now to the stand where the public letter-writer sat waiting for customers yesterday. I will let him write a letter for me." The three separated and Mrs. Sprague returned to the hotel, while Rafael went down to the quay to watch the fishermen.
