The captain took the box to the bedroom, and, finding the child still asleep, deposited it on the floor and tiptoed out again.

He was warming the beef broth in a saucepan on the stove when Emily appeared.

She was dressed in dry clothes from the box and seemed to be feeling as good as new.
"Hello!" exclaimed Captain Cy.

"You're on deck again, hey?
How's icicles ?" "All gone," was the reply.
