“He'll be here to-night with some friends,

“Vot! he goin’ to-night?” and a disappointed

of the pretty maid with whom he spent his idle 
moments, and then with a glance at the sky, re-

Ned knew better by the look of the sky that

horizon, save in the west, where all was aglow 
as the sunt went down. It was a long time 
‘after the sun set before it got dark at this time 
of the year, and by the time “de Commodore” 


and his two other guests arrived Yonson and 
Ned had reached a mutual understanding. Ned 
realized he had a big, pleasant Swede, as strong

pertaining to boats, that he was nicknamed the 
| “Greenhorn.” 
With her main boom broad off and only lower 
sails set, the Pontoon started on her eastward 
| voyage with a quiet starlight night shutting in. 
Ahead the fleets of schooners were as blots on 
the horizon, and toward these the Pontoon 
slowly forged through the smooth water with 
scarcely a ripple of disturbance. A good, hot
