 After a while the boat started of and the commotion subsided. Bert and Wellie had been unable to get to- gether, but both were hidden behind great boxes.
 They had not proceeded far when Wellie was discovered, dragged forth and put to work under the steward. Bert still remained huddled behind his box. The passage was rough and Bert was tired and hungry when they arr rived at Liverpool.
 As the boat was made fast Bert heard 2 step approaching. A moment later the box was moved. He darted swiftly out from his hiding place and ran for the gangplank. To his sur prise and great joy, as he raced down the plank he found Wellie by his side, likewise running for dear life.
