"We are approaching the harbor," said Mrs. Woolridge, who was not much interested in the South Sea Scheme, though her husband and Louis listened to the explanation very attentively. "We are, madam. You see to the northward of us two peninsulas. The one the more distant has two hills on it. The first is Malabar Hill, and the other Cumballa Hill. This is the aristocratic quarter of Bombay.
This gives the unprofessional people an interest in the exercises they would not otherwise have. For example, Mr. Woolridge" "I beg pardon, but he is the father of the beautiful young lady who was seated at the table next to Mr. Belgrave, is he not?" interposed Lord Tremlyn. "The same, sir.
Woolridge and wife were disconcerted to come next; but their daughter had been properly honored, and both were too fond of Blanche to be troubled about the precedence. Mr. Frôler stood by the governor, and announced the names of the members of the party; for His Excellency could hardly be expected to remember them.
"But the material did not come from those quarries." "No; they made the rocks," added the magnate. "Made them!" exclaimed Mrs. Blossom. "Do you expect us to believe that?" "There is a great deal of such work done in the United States, and in some of our cities there are streets paved and sidewalks built of manufactured stone," replied Mr. Woolridge.
"I have a wounded man on board, and I wish to get rid of him," he began. "Wounded in the battle of which Miss Woolridge was telling me?" asked the official. "Precisely so; but he is not of my party, and is the biggest scoundrel that ever went unhung;" and the commander gave a brief account of his relations to Mazagan. "Is there a hospital in Port Said?"
He was the commander; but the smallness of the ship's company made it necessary for him to keep his own watch, which is usually done by the second mate for him. Morris Woolridge, who had had considerable experience in his father's yacht, was the first officer, and there was no other.
Woolridge, since the trouble in the Cyprus bay, and after all that has been said since that event, would not permit their sons to go to sea again in the Maud; and I must say that their prudence is perfectly justifiable." "Then we are not likely to use the Maud again?" asked Scott.
"I don't see how that can be," interposed Miss Blanche, with one of her prettiest smiles. "There is the lunch-bell; but I shall be very happy to explain the matter more fully later in the day, Miss Woolridge, unless you prefer that Louis should do it," suggested Scott.
When Louis recovered the stolen treasure of the jockey, he had applied to one of the principal losers by the crime, Mr. Lowell Woolridge, then devoted to horse-racing and yachting, for advice in regard to the disposal of the plunder. All who had lost any of the money were paid in full; and the gentleman took a fancy to the young man who consulted him.
"You and the professor have given us such a minute account of the place and its surroundings that it seems to me that I have taken it all in." "I think most of us have," said Mrs. Woolridge; and several of the company expressed themselves to the same effect. "We have several books in the library about the city and the islands, and some of us have read them all," suggested Louis.
