CHAPTER V.
TITE TOODLEBURG AND A MODERN REFORMER.
Young Tite Toodleburg has grown up to be a boy of sixteen.

A bright, handsome fellow he is, every inch a sailor, and full of the spirit of adventure.

There is something more than Dutch blood in Tite, and it begins to show itself.

His figure is erect and slender, his hair soft and flaxen, and his blue eyes and fresh, smiling face, almost girlish in its expression, gave to his regular features a softness almost feminine.
And yet there was something manly, resolute, and even daring in his actions.

There was no such thing as fear in his nature.
