CHAPTER XXI.
THE AMERICAN CAPTAIN.


Dawn found the brig enveloped in
thick fog, but when the sun rose the
whiteness grew brilliant, and Mr.. Har-
dy guessed that neither the top nor sides
of the smother were very far off. A light
wind was blowing. The fog rushed
with it betwixt the masts and through
the rigging in streams and lines of
steam. The ripping water was like
steel. 1t feathered in 'winks of foam
and vanished close to. as though it
washed under the foot of "a wall.
Not long had the fog grown bright
when the commander made his appear
ance on deck.
"a little wind" said he, shifting at
it, land fair, he added, glancing aloft
at the yards which came and went in
the rolling clouds of vapor like the sail
of boat in the run Of the surge.
He stepped to the pinnacle and looked
ut the briggs course, then hung his jolly
red face over the side to judge Of the
speed.
At that instant the sound of a gun
was heard. The commander started and
swept the surrounding darkness with
his gaze; then, stepping over to Mr.
Hardy, he said, Ibid you hear it?''
The mates answer was taken ont of
his mouth by tie sound Of another gun,

"The sun, SIR" cried Mr. Hardy.
Another gunr' exclaimed the CON-.
mander.
As the mate spoke glorious beam Of
light shot through break in the flying
silvery stuff and flashed up the brig,
dazzling out her skylight and bright
work into squares and stars Of stream
ing splendor. Then, as if that spoke OF
glory had been the magician's wand
that commanded the evanishment OF

~ everything which a student could
do, to earn money. He had been clerk
in the town grocery, had sold books
on an occasion, done copying, collect
ed laundry for a steam washing CON
Germ, and he kent bachelors hall by
himself in a bare little room, which
nobody ever visited very much, except
Norris, who liked him. And here he
was talking about his advantages.
The tide of talk swept on during Nor
ris's soliloquy, and Crimmins and his
advantages were left behind. But the
scrap Of conversation stuck in the head
of Morris, as such things will, and
when, two years later, he had a quarrel
with his uncle Philpotts, and declared
that rather than work into the hide
aEd-leather business he would 90 out
and earn his own living in his own
way, he remembered it. His uncle
Philpotts acquiesced with alacrity, and
foreboye to ask what Morris's way
might be. for which Norris, in after
years was grateful.
He had been a reading man in col
lege; in some ways he was a brilliant
man. He had one or two hobbies
which he had ridden triumphantly all
through his course; one of them was
philology, and another botany; he had
rather an unusual herbarium The
only place in which these accomplish
ments could be of use would have been
a school room or something in the
museum line; both of which he tried.

the fauluess style of his visitor. the only
place in which these specialties of yours
would be of much use is a college or an

teal experience as well as knowledge.
Better so out and knock around in

That was very good advice but Morris
did not knowof any district school into
which he would have the ghost of
chance of getting. He determined to try

whom he knew. and TO whom he applied
