"Well, Kurilla, we're pleased and proud to meet you," adding with some presence of mind, "And how's Dall?"
But, as this was only to be done by the judgment of the Court, all that could be said was that his pay and allowances should be continued in the same manner as if he had been upon the sick-list. The circumstances of Dall's case were briefly these: He had gone to see some of his friends in the neighbourhood of Dundee, in winter, while the works were suspended, having got leave of absence from Mr.

Having relieved his feelings thus, he went over the side. While this was going on, Larry O'Hale, Muggins, and Mr Cupples, with several others, were brought to the gangway. Griffin addressed these before ordering them into the boat.
