fierce gusty wind was blowing and
all the time the boat looked like be-
ing swamped. But the way in which
that old woman gave her orders and
anticipated every gust of more than
usual strength was entirely admirable.
The sail would be raised a little
way, to the vast mental discomfort Of
the passenger, who was vastly afraid,
and down it would come with rattle

he counted for less than nothing. He

He also smokes when the weather is
