[On The Blockade by Oliver Optic]@TWC D-Link bookOn The Blockade CHAPTER XXIX 6/9
The Bronx reclaimed the men left on board of the Havana, and Captain Lonley was sent on board of the Vixen. Christy had been down into his cabin, and taken a hasty glance at the ward room.
In addition to his own apartments like those on board of the Bronx, though they were larger, he found a state room opening from the foot of the companion way, and another from the passage way leading to his principal cabin.
These two rooms he appropriated to the use of Mr. Pembroke and his daughter, though they were very well provided for on board of the Havana.
They were invited on board, and gratefully accepted the accommodations tendered to them. Mr.Amblen was to retain the place assigned to him as prize-master, and two competent men were found to take charge of the schooners.
All the arrangements were completed in a couple of hours, and the prizes of the Bronx were started at once.
