It was due to this delay that I failed to witness the drawing-out of the ship into midstream and also missed seeing any of the party entrusted to my care until after we had passed the Statue of Liberty upon our way to the open sea. Eventually, by dint of zealous enquiry, I ascertained that the purser was the person charged with the assignment of berths and staterooms.
Amalu alone berthed forward; the rest occupied staterooms, camped upon the satin divans, and sat down in Grant Sanderson's parquetry smoking-room to meals of junk and potatoes, bad of their kind and often scant in quantity. Hemstead grumbled; Tommy had occasional moments of revolt and increased the ordinary by a few haphazard tins or a bottle of his own brown sherry.
"Poor Daddy poor Daddy!" Maddening new sounds were all about her, sounds of water dashing and churning, sounds of voices bellowing out commands, straining and leaping sounds of the engines. What was it what was it? She must at least find out. Everybody was going mad in the staterooms, the stewards were rushing about, trying to quiet people, their own voices shaking and breaking into cracked notes.
The small craft sped through emptiness at a high multiple of the speed of light. Hoddan's knowledge of astrogation was strictly practical. He went over his ship. From a look at it outside he'd guessed that it once had been a yacht. Various touches inside verified that idea. There were two staterooms. All the hull-space was for living and supplies. None was for cargo. He nodded.
The staterooms were different from the berths in a sleeping car. Laddie thought they ought all to be tied into their berths so, if the ship rolled, they would not fall out. "For I don't like falling out of bed," he said. "I always bump myself." The steamship did not roll that night, however. At least if it did the little Bunkers did not know it.
We can get all the war news, going and coming, can't we? Have you brought along an operator?" "I am an operator," the supercargo answered. "By the by, can you fix me up with a wireless room?" "There are two staterooms and a bath in the owners' suite which you will occupy. You can take your choice." "Good. I shall want to sleep close to my instrument."
The gangways, staterooms were overrun not only by passengers, but by all sorts of visitors curious to get a glimpse of the luxurious liner. The first-class saloon, heaped high on all sides with American Beauty roses and orchids, looked as gay and full of color as a florist's shop. "Isn't it perfectly stunning? How I adore ships!" exclaimed Ray, eager to see everything.
'And about the closeness of the Atlantic staterooms. I blushed to hear you. 'But he listened eagerly to it all. I could see it. 'I wonder if he really believed it. I have noticed that the maids and the waiters seem to look at us with a certain interest. 'My dear girlie, you will find as you go through life that every man will always look at you with a certain interest.
Walter M. Clark were a few of those who lay back, exhausted, on the leather cushions and told in shuddering sentences of their experiences. Mrs. John Jacob Astor and the Countess of Rothes had been taken to staterooms soon after their arrival on shipboard.
Didn't I tell you the Rovers robbed my father of a mine? This isn't a fleabite to what they've got that belongs to us." From the dining room the young rascals passed to the staterooms. "Trunks full of stuff," observed Flapp. "We shan't fall short of clothing." "I hope there is money in some of them," answered Dan Baxter. "Hadn't we better be putting off?" asked Flapp, nervously.
