al shall write him at once," was the
easy reply. "The letter will reach Liver
pool ahead of us. What's the use of
cabling?"
al am afraid to-day's mail has closed;
but there will be another sailing this week.
Aye, the letter will be in England before
we are. And you will be sure to mention
that you asked yourself aboard and l
objected?'
"Still harping on the same string!' ex-
claimed Hayden Norcross. II solemnly
swear to absolve you from all part and
share in my voyage"
The Captain showed an odd unwilling
ness; but this was doubtless natural
feeling of responsibility in the case of
so important parsonage as the son of
Sir James Babb Norcross. No rudeness
was intended.
IN lovely June weather the Chiffon
Grange left port. Captain Nelson
Sackett had handled men for many years.
and he appraised them shrewdly. This
youngster was generous, clean, unspoiled
by golden fortune. 1t was impossible to
dislike him.
At table in the cabin Rhoades and the
chief engineer, quiet, shy men, were
not at their ease in the company of the
owners son; but he could not be held
blameworthy. His was an effulgent name;
and the barrier of caste oppressed their
honest British souls. 1t was singular that
his presence should not have aroused their
resentment for they dumbly felt that the
NOrcross millions had been sweated ont
of the ocean carrying trade and that the
titled owner in Liverpool could afford
to deal more justly with his men and
ships.
The passengers appetite was good.
his digestion perfect; but the deuce of it
was that he could not seem to get enough
to eat. A chap felt awkward about mem
tioning the fact; but if he expected to
control few dozen steamers himself some
day, he really ought to find out few
things. In such we'll kept ship as this
seemed confoundedly queer.
Al say, what's the program for feeding
these boats?' he sang out to the skipper.
who was in the chart-room. "What l
mean is, how are they provisioned?'
Captain Sackett grinned. He had an
sense of humor. Until now
he had tactfully avoided ruffling the
young man.
"Most of the stuff is put aboard at
Liverpool. he told him, excepting
little fresh grub picked up from port
to port. The ship has an expense allow
