Charlie's answer was to rush down stairs, followed by the club in a very hasty and undignified way. There, at the end of a long spout that terminated eight inches from the floor, was a couple of good-sized legs squirming to get out. Then Wort's voice was heard, coming from the interior of the box, "Let me out! Let me out!" "Can't you get out?" asked the governor. "No, no! Let me out!
"How many are on board the 'White Shield?" "I feared it was she when I laid my eyes on her," said Captain Peters. "Five in the crew, my father, and one passenger." "Dis a s'prise," said a new-comer, looking at Wort. It was Juggie. "It is a surprise," was Wort's reply. "Catch me going again." "You'd rather be de keeper ob de great seal." "Yes, indeed!"
"Nice place," he said, climbing into his father's berth, and there curling up into one corner. The day had been an exciting one, and yet tiresome, and Wort's next movement was to gape. "Sort of sleepy," he said. The wind murmuring at the open window of the state-room had a drowsy sound, and and Wort's head gave a sudden fall.
The reference was to the bell at Philadelphia, rung at the Declaration of Independence, and somebody behind the sheet now began to shake a cowbell, a device which it was thought would heighten the effect of the performance. "'Taint time!" called out Charlie, turning in despair to the curtain. Here Wort's round, beaming face appeared at a rent which was growing larger every few minutes.
I didn't mean to do it, but I suppose I was too anxious to keep up the discipline of the school, and I got agoing, you know. Let's shake hands and be friends." Wort hesitated. "You ought to do that," said Will. "Shake hands, Wort," and as he spoke he carelessly but effectively waved a stick of sassafras-pipe in Wort's sight.
But the remonstrances were feebler one after the other, his eyes refused to open, and there in the captain's state-room was a boy fast asleep! It was the latter part of the afternoon, and one of the men at work on the new vessel came to Wort's father, and said, "Cap'n, shall we let the schooner lie off in the stream to-night, or do you take her to her wharf?"
"And do you want to come to my launching?" "You going to be launched?" asked Charlie. "Not exactly," said Skipper Wentworth, Wort's father, "but my schooner is, and if you come to Raynes's ship-yard next Saturday, you will see her. You can tell any of the other boys to come if they like. Wort will be there." Charlie went down to the yard the day before the launching.
