CHAPTER VI.
IN ENGLAND .-- THE CAPTAIN AND THE LORDS.
The "Adamante" arrived in England after a rough and stormy passage of forty-eight days.

Captain Godfrey and family suffered severe hardships on the run over the Western Ocean.

Owing to his exhausted funds, Captain G.was unable to provide his family the conveniences and comforts which would have rendered the voyage home more agreeable than under the circumstances it proved itself to be.

As it was they suffered severely.
They had no bedding, and found their beaver skins a great luxury to sleep on.

The few pounds that the sale of the sloop brought him were all expended during his long stay at Halifax while he was waiting for an opportunity to sail for England.
Margaret Godfrey was as high spirited as she was brave, and would not condescend to seek assistance from their friends in Halifax.
