A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION The Bellevite lay in the river, off the estate of Captain Passford, though at a little distance below the mansion, from the windows of which she could not be seen.

Corny walked down the avenue and over the hill, in the direction of the anchorage of the steamer.

The boat-house was near the mansion, and to the float attached to it a variety of small craft were made fast.

But the water was not deep enough there for the Bellevite.

Corny had been to Bonnydale, and passed many weeks there, so that he was familiar with the localities.
As he passed the boat-house, he noticed that the Florence, which was Christy's favorite sailing craft, was not at her moorings, and he concluded that his cousin was away in her on some excursion.
