A Jolly Fellowship

CHAPTER XVIII
1/21


I WAKE UP MR.

CHIPPERTON.
About nine o'clock, on Monday morning, the "Tigris" came in.

When we boarded her, which we did almost as soon as the stairs had been put down her side, we found that she would make a shorter stay than usual, and would go out that evening, at high tide.

So there was no time to lose.
After the letters had been delivered at the hotel, and we had read ours, we sent our trunks on board, and went around to finish up Nassau.

We rowed over to Hog Island, opposite the town, to see, once more, the surf roll up against the high, jagged rocks; we ran down among the negro cottages and the negro cabins to get some fruit for the trip; and we rushed about to bid good-bye to some of our old friends--Poqua-dilla among them.
