and catching Cad and Mead. one under each
OF his arms. went with one spring TO the best
ship in the roadstead. Thoy raised the sails
then and the three brothers did as good work
as tho best and largest crew. They left tho
harbor with the fairest wind q ship ever had.

speed the chip had. The water rose in three
terrible ridges. 80 that the rough gravel OF tho
bottom was brought to the top and the froth

they had it twice better going home. In the
evening the ship was anchored among the
