claim my wife, and take her with me

profitable charter for Australia. The
gold fields had just been discovered in
that part of the world, and the chance
was not to be missed. l fretted at the
delay. but duty was before me, and
that stood first. We set sail for the
Australian coast. Our voyage was a
disastrous one. When within two days
sail of our destination, our ship, The
Blue Jacket, was overtaken by violent
storm. which so disabled her that we
had to take to our boats. 1t happened
strangely enough that another vessel,
named The Blue Jacket, was caught in
this storm, and went down with all
hands. We were more fortunate. Only
one man was lost-our skipper-so that
the command devolved upon me. We
were picked up and taken into Mel
