The lark sang in the thin sunlight as if he would break his very heart for joy, and the lovers walked homewards slowly, arm in arm. It was the First of May, and that same good three-master, the Cæsar, which had carried Major de Blacquaire and Sergeant Jervase from the Crimea to Scutari, was bowling merrily along south of Naples, where Vesuvius had his smoking cap on.
The summer hours glided past them. The Cayman was far out at sea; all the other yachts had vanished, and they were alone amidst the blue, with only a solitary three-master yonder, on the edge of the horizon.
"So there's nothing to do, then, my dear Count, and you, Captain Chubb, but for us to shake hands and say good-bye." "Where's your guide?" grunted the captain. "Ah, where's our guide?" said the doctor, looking in the direction of the Spanish three-master. "He said at the turn of the tide. I ought to have asked him to come here to breakfast."
Having sailed from Havre on the 3rd of May, 1882, for a voyage in the China seas, the square-rigged three-master, Notre Dame des Vents, made her way back into the port of Marseilles, on the 8th of August, 1886, after an absence of four years.

The youngest girl turned and ran, the two others threw their arms round their father. As for him, he opened his mouth that was the only sign of emotion which he showed. "Then, after several seconds, he spoke: "'Mosieu, are you the owner of this ship? "'I am.
She was a three-master, and looked, in the uncertain light, as if she had been in service in the East for a long time. She glided into the harbor between the Tusks as if she knew every inch of the channel, and brought up close to a flat surface of rock on one of the Tusks, which formed a natural pier. Then the hatches were opened, and shaded lanterns gleamed about the deck.
