Mr.Flint made them out to the effect that the steamer had orders for the Bronx.

This settled the question, and there was no more anxiety in regard to her, and there was to be no sea fight for the possession of the prizes.
In less than half an hour the two steamers were within hailing distance of each other, and the stranger sent off a boat with an officer as soon as both vessels had stopped their screws and lost their headway.

As Christy watched the approaching boat, he recognized the chief engineer of the Bellevite in the stern sheets.

It was Paul Vapoor, his old friend and crony, who waved his cap as soon as he discovered the first lieutenant.

The boat came to the side, and Paul mounted the accommodation ladder.
