The Dinah made a long stretch to the eastward, and was in sight of the entrance to the harbor till it began to be dark; but no steamer came out on the high tide.

The boat crossed the bar again.
"Now, David, I want you to land me some distance beyond the public wharf," said Christy.

"How much shall I pay you for this sail ?" "About three dollars, sir, if you don't think that is too much," answered the boatman.
"That is very reasonable for the time you have been out; and there is a sovereign," added the passenger, as he handed him the gold coin.
"I don't think I can change this piece, sir." "You need not change it; keep the whole of it." "Oh, thank you, sir! You are very generous, and I thank you with all my heart.

I don't often earn that much money in a whole day." "All right, David; I am satisfied if you are." "I am more than satisfied, sir.

But where shall I land you ?" "I don't know the names of all the streets, but go to the eastward of the public wharf." "I can land you at the foot of Union Street." "How will I get to the Royal Victoria Hotel ?" The boatman directed him so that he could find his destination.
