Through an open window overhead came the sound of cheerful high voices, and little Fay started to sing at the top of her strong treble: Thlee mice went into a hole to spin, Puss came by, and puss peeped in; What are you doing, my littoo old men?

"Four-piecee dlown," reiterated Charlie calmly. "One, thlee, five, nine, come asho'. Him other no come." "Where are the ones that came ashore?" asked Wilbur. Charlie waved a hand back into the night. "Him make um camp topside ole house." "That old whaling-camp," prompted Moran. Then to Wilbur: "You remember about a hundred yards north the creek?"
For my own taste, this sumptuous hotel-ship is rather too much of a hotel and too little of a ship. I resent the absolute exclusion of the passengers from even the most distant view of the propelling and guiding forces. Practically, the Lucania is a ship without a deck; and the deck is to the ship what the face is to the human being. The so-called promenade-deck is simply a long roofed balcony on either side of the hotel building. It is roofed by the "shade deck," which is rigidly reserved "for navigators only." There the true life of the ship goes on, and we are vouchsafed no glimpse of it. One is reminded of the Chinaman's description of a three-masted screw steamer with two funnels: "Thlee piecee b

"And in all these times I suppose you've never known anybody to be around here?" Frank went on. Charley shook his head in the negative. "White man, no. Sometime Moqui come 'long, make for stlore down canlon get glub. See same two, thlee times. Charley Moi see old Moqui last night," the Chinaman replied. "What's that you say?" demanded Frank, hastily.
He is not one of those created in the laboratory?" "No, Mlaxon. You no makee fine young man like Blulan you know lat, Mlaxon. You makee One, Two, Thlee all up to Twelve. All fleaks. You ought to know, Mlaxon, lat you no can makee a Blulan." During these revelations Bulan had sat with his eyes fixed upon the Chinaman. There was a puzzled expression upon his wan, blood-streaked face.
There was a satisfied smacking and munching for a space, when the voice took up the tale: "Once Tony had thlee " But what it was Tony once had "thlee" of Meg was not to know that night, for naughty little Fay fell fast asleep. For a week Tony bathed his sister every night. Neither Jan nor Meg felt equal to facing and going through again the terrors of that first night without Ayah.
