"We met at a reception in the city, and I am delighted to see you again, especially on such a jolly occasion as I feel sure to-day is going to be." "Do you think it is quite safe ?" said Ethelyn, with what she considered a charming timidity.

"I've never been sailing, you know, and I'm not very brave." "Oh, pshaw! of course it's safe, barring accidents; but you're always liable to those, even in an automobile.

Hello! here comes Hepworth.

Glad to see you, old chap." Mr.Hepworth received a general storm of glad greetings, was presented to the strangers, and announced himself as ready to carry baskets, boxes, rugs, wraps, or whatever was to be transported.
Mr.Fairfield, as general manager, portioned out the luggage, and then, each picking up his individual charge, they started off.

On the way they met the Elliott family similarly equipped and equally enthusiastic, and the whole crowd proceeded down to the wharf.
