CHAPTER FOUR.
THE NEW CAPTAIN'S INTRODUCTION.
Of course a row was made, or attempted to be made, about the daring exploit of the fags of Parrett's House narrated in the last chapter.
The matter was duly reported to the head monitor of Welch's by the injured parties.

But the result only proved how very cunning the offenders had been in choosing this particular time for the execution of their raid.
The head of Welch's reported the matter to Bloomfield, as the head of Parrett's.

But Bloomfield, who had plenty to do to punish offences committed in his own House, replied that the head of Welch's had better mention it to the captain of the school.

_He_ couldn't do anything.
The head of Welch's pointed out that there was no captain of the school at present.

What was he to do?
Bloomfield suggested that he had better "find out," and there the matter ended.
