I advise you to write to your father, and tell him plainly just how you feel," said Paul. Before Christy could begin his report he was called to the deck by the first lieutenant, though everything had appeared to be quiet and orderly there. Ralph Pennant had been at work among the crew, and was unable to discover that any of the men were disloyal; but the commander had better information obtained by his own investigations. Ralph was in consultation with Mr. Flint when Christy went on deck. "Jes' so; you was born ob de debbil," replied the old negro, rising in his bed, and showing all his remaining teeth in an expansive smile.

Corny had given him no opportunity to look the matter over, for he had talked most of the time as opportunity was presented.

The shot dropped into the water a short distance abreast of the cutter.
