Two ladies who were to have it--a mother and daughter--have, I hear this morning, been unexpectedly detained, owing to the sudden illness of one of them.
Their heavy baggage is all in the hold, and must go on, and they will follow in the next ship.

Shall I put Mrs.Holland in there ?" "Certainly.

This is most fortunate.
"I don't think that you would have been comfortable, with the other two, Mrs.Holland.I don't know the colonel's wife, but Mrs.Larkins has travelled with us before, and I had quite enough of her on that voyage." "Thank you very much, Captain.

It will indeed be a comfort to have a cabin to myself." Dick found that he was berthed with two young cadets, whose names, he learned from the cards fastened over the bunks, were Latham and Fellows.
Half an hour after the arrival of the Hollands on board, the passengers began to pour in rapidly, and the deck of the Madras was soon crowded with them, their friends, and their luggage.

Below, all was bustle and confusion.
