 As the skipper was member of the church in Belleport and had often ad- dressed the Sunday school scholars on the subject of eleanly life, it seems cruel to say he resembled a man just awakening from drunken stupor. but a glance at his blotched and turgid face. his bleared eyes and his whole appearance as he tumbled out of his bunk-he had turned in all standing certainly gave grounds for the assump- tion.
 Steadying himself on his feet and uttering a groan as an introductory. the skipper entered the cabin.
