The captain very soon had an opportunity of fulfilling his word, for in a very short time the ship went into action, and his next in command being killed, he gave Miss Nailor the death vacancy, and then she became first-lieutenant of the gallant Thunder bomb.

She pulled aside the "stopper" of newspaper and thrust in the stick. At once the rustling and squeaking increased. She worked the stick up and down insistently. Scale from the inside of the chimney began to rattle down to the hearth below. The voices ceased. Then the men were heard to scramble up. The bats were dislodged perhaps many of them! There was a scuffling and scratching inside the flue.
