Old Acquaintances gather around old Scenes.- Antelope, ahoy - How
are you, Solomon? - Round-about Plan of a round about Voyage. - The
Doctor warns, rebukes, and remonstrates, but, alas in vain. - It
must be done. - Beginning of a highly eventful Voyage. It was a
beautiful morning, in the month of July, when a crowd of boys
assembled on the wharf of Grand Pre. The tide was high, the turbid
waters of Mud Creek flowed around, a fresh breeze blew, and if any
craft was going to sea she could not have found a better time. The
crowd consisted chiefly of boys, though a few men were mingled with
them. These boys were from Grand Pre School, and are all old
acquaintances. There was the stalwart frame of Bruce, the Roman
face of Arthur, the bright eyes of Bart, the slender frame of Phil,
and the earnest glance of Tom. There, too, was Pat's merry smile,
and the stolid look of Bogud, and the meditative solemnity of
Jiggins, not to speak of others whose names need not be mentioned.
Amid the crowd the face of Captain Corbet was conspicuous, and the
dark visage of Solomon, while that of the mate was distinguishable
in the distance. To all these the good schooner Antelope formed the
centre of attraction, and also of action. It was on board of her
that the chief bustle took place, and towards her that all eyes
were turned.
