No two classes of people could be more unlike than the salmon-fishers of Sunburst and the mill-hands and river-drivers of Viking.

The wind prevailed with but little abatement from its daytime boisterousness, three or four small clouds, delicate and pale, creeping along under the sky southward to the Channel.
"Didn't I tell you, O'Moy," answered the captain, mollified a little by the sympathy and good feeling peeping through the adjutant's boisterousness, "that poverty is just hell. It's my poverty that's in the way." "And is that all? Then it's thankful you should be that Sylvia Armytage has got enough for two." "That's just it." "Just what?" "The obstacle. I could marry a poor woman. But Sylvia "
