238 THE CAPTAIN. 



" Yet, when we got home, oil was so high that 

 what we had brought a good price, so our voyage 

 was a paying one, after all. 



" Oh, I must tell you that we found out after 

 we got ashore the vessel that we saw captured 

 was the Isaac Webb of New York, and that after 

 catching her, the steamer tried to find us, but 

 thanks to the fog and our good fortune, she waa 

 unsuccessful."
