Jane filled the hanging lamps, while Harriet trimmed and filled the lantern that was to be put out as a night light so that other craft should not run into them during the night.
"All hands on deck!" commanded Harriet, after the last of the work had been finished.
"That reminds me.

We must elect our officers," said Miss Elting, after the girls had climbed to the pleasant upper deck.

"Whom shall we have for our captain ?" "I gueth Harriet will make a good captain," suggested Tommy.
The girls agreed to this.
"I suggest then, that Jane McCarthy be chief officer--that is, the next in line to the captain--with Margery as purser, Hazel as third officer, and Tommy, what would you like to be ?" asked Miss Elting.
"I gueth I'll be the pathenger," decided little Tommy wisely.
There was a chorus of protests at this.
"You and I will be the fourth and fifth officers respectively," announced the guardian.
"What doeth the fourth offither do ?" "Not much of anything." Tommy nodded approvingly.
"Then I am that," she announced.

"Harriet ith a good captain.

Harriet knowth thomething about everything." Harriet shook her head.
