down the deck. Then he went to the
water cask and took a long drink,
and an hour later a generous message
was received from the skipper that he
might have as many biscuits as he
liked.
BY the third day nobody took any
notice of him, and his presence on
board was almost forgotten, until Bob
going down to the forecastle, created
a stir by asking somewhat excitedly
what had become of him.
He's on deck, l s'pose,' said the
cook, who was having a pipe.
He's not" said Bob, solemnly.
He's not gone overheard, spose?"
said Bill, starting up.
Touched by this morbid suggestion
they went up on deck and looked
round; Private Bliss was nowhere to
be seen, and Ted, who was steering
had heard no splash. He seemed to
have disappeared by magic, and the
cook, after hurried search, ventured
aft, and, descending to the cabin, men
toned his fears to the skipper.

his cheeks and he gazed helplessly at
