OF the departure was TO be given by the
signal of a gun, which all ashore await
ed expectantly. Suddenly the report came
and found Mrs. Bates and Jack unprepar-
ed. All was hustle and hurry at the Ho-

never see your father again"

rived partly from some little dsrkey chill

mind replied with a long-drawn-out
drawli
