CHAPTER XII.
sOrTHAMPTON QUAY.


Three months have passed-three long
months of tossing waters and ever present
winds. The Harpoon shaping her course
for Norfolk, in the United States, had
made but poor passage Of it. She got
into the southeast trades, and all went
well till they made st. PGuis Rocks,
where they were detained by the doldrums
md variable winds. Afterward she passed
into the northeast trades, and then,
further north, met series of westerly
gales, that ultimately drove her to the
Azores, Just as her crew were getting
very short of water aud provisions. And
here Augusta bid farewell to her friend
the Yankee skipper; for the whaler that
had saved her life and Dicks after rctit-
ting once more, set sail upon Its almost
endless voyage.
She had had quite enough Of the Har-
poon, and yet she was loath 10 say fare
well TO her; for her days on board had in
many respects been restful and happy
ones; they had given her space and time
to brace herself up before she plunged
once more into the struggle OF active life.
Besides, she had throughout been treated
with that unvarying Kindness and consid-

persons in misfortune
But Augusta was not the only person
who with sorrow watched the departure

drawl, and grown quite half an inch on
board of her, and who fairly howled when

Thomas herself. When they finally
reached the island of st. Michael, in the
Azores, Augusta had offered to pay fifty
pounds, being half Of the hundred soyer-
eigns given to her by Mr.. Meeson, TO
Capt Thomas as a passage fee, knowing
that he was by no means oyerburdened
w@h the goods of this world. But he
