You talk to me as though I were a small boy, and had nothing to do with the enterprise in which we are engaged," returned Corny. "Can you make out where you are, Mike?" inquired Mr. Pennant, after about half a mile had been made. Christy looked at the stranger with astonishment, and he could not imagine who he could be. He had seen no such person on board of the Bronx or on the deck of the flag-ship. When the prisoners from the Magnolia had been brought on board, Christy had been too much occupied with other matters to bestow any attention upon them with the exception of "the dignified gentleman in black," who proved to be his uncle. He had had no curiosity in regard to them, and Mr. Camden had disposed of them at the rail.

Christy had encountered several of this kind. "How was the weather when you left the deck, Mr. Flint?" asked the commander. "You seem to have a man ready for every vacant position. Who is he?" asked the commodore with a pleasant smile.
