MUSIC IN THE MOONLIGHT Several days passed and from the standpoint of the schooner the voyage was successful.

The wind continued fresh and strong, and it came out of the right quarter.

The days were clear, the sea was a dazzling color, shifting as the sky over it shifted.

The slaver was in high good humor.
His crew seemed to be under perfect control and went about their work mostly in silence.

They rarely sang, as sailors sing, but Robert, watching them on spar or mast, although he knew little about ships, knew that they were good sailors.
