By this time the range was pretty cool and they could handle it; but it was in a sad state, quite melted out. Yulee tried to solace herself with making tea for Miss Phely; but it was miserable comfort to make tea with cold water that had not even made believe boil as usual on the wonderful range.
"A'n't girls ever wrecked alone?" asked Bo; Yulee thought a minute; she tried to recollect the different stories she had read about people who were cast away. "No;" she said finally, "there is always the captain, and the doctor, and the carpenter, and some of the passengers at least; and the carpenter finds his chest."
"Well let's do it!" said he; it was enough for him that Yulee had proposed it; "I'll go right off and get my bow and arrows." "And I'll get my tea-set and the range, and I'll take Miss Phely," said Yulee. They jumped up from the flat door-step, and ran into the house, and up stairs to the play-room.
It is believed that the opinion that they should remain prevailed." Furthermore, upon the capture of Fernandina, Florida, in 1862, the following letter was found and published. Senator Yulee, the writer, was present and participated as one of the Florida Senators, in the traitorous "Consultation" therein referred to and hence its especial value: "WASHINGTON, January 7, 1861.
Bo opened his eyes and blinked in the light of the lanterns, but went right to sleep again on his father's shoulder. "We didn't run away," said Yulee, "we were cast away in the Little Madras." "Where's the boat, Yulee?" asked one of her brothers. "Oh that was washed away of course," said she. "Why of course?" "Why, they always are," said she, "and they make new ones out of logs."
But the land looked rather unpromising; it was low, rising but little above the water, and covered with grass, a few low bushes and one clump of trees. The boat did not seem able to get much nearer the island, after it was within a few yards of it, and even appeared to be drifting away. Yulee noticed this and began to be alarmed lest they should not be cast away after all.
Davis, Slidell, and Mallory, to carry out the objects of this meeting." Yulee, who was present at this 'consultation' as he calls it, of the resolutions adopted on this occasion, transmitted to the said Finegan, who by the way, was a member of the 'Sovereign Convention' of Florida, then sitting in the town of Tallahassee.
So the match was laid down to Bo's grief, and Yulee proceeded to unpack the box containing her tea-set. They chose for a table a flat rock sunken in the sand, and just the right size. On this they arranged the cups and saucers, and tea-pot and sugar-bowl and creamer. "We ought to have some real sugar," said Bo. "So we ought," said Yulee. "There ought to be some in the ship's stores," she added.
Yulee didn't dare trust herself to speak she was so afraid she might cry, but uncovered her hand to show him, and there they both saw for she had not looked at it herself yet, a shining spot as large as a three cent piece, and that looked like silver. "Why!" exclaimed Yulee. "Oh!" said Bo. Yulee forgot her pain for a moment.
After the strawberrying they came back to the shore again, and little Bo, now quite disheartened began to make a noise which sounded a little like crying, it was a whimper; but Yulee was brave and kept her courage up, and began telling Bo stories which she had read about people who had been cast away upon islands; but somehow or other she always seemed to remember best the parts where they were attacked by savages and wild beasts, and especially by her favourite hippopotamus.
