glad to have him near We took our
seats to partakc of our mcal-tca,

When we went to help ourselves there
was nothing like spoon or fork there:
no silver Of any kind. Sister, who
presided at the waiter, called Law

room; hid them up an old unused
chimney. We found out that he was
very sure the captain might rob us and
tried to prevent it: he also sccrctcd

the roof. Poor fellow. he became
little dcmoralizcd after his freedom,
and there was much excuse for him.
but he seemed sorry and dcsirous to
mend.
