"Don' t be afraid, Uncle Harry; it' s only me I” said Pet as she came in, dispersing the darkeys by a. grand tourist: of her whip. "Port your helm !" exclaimed the ndmiral, still slightly bewildered, as he held the candle-stick aloft and stared at Pet with all his eyes. “Well, how can I port my helm out here, I want to know ?" cried Pct. testily. “Look at these niggers gaping as if I had two heads on me. and you. standing. staring at me, with that old candle-stick over your head, that's got no candle in it.

Pet was standing knocking away with the butt end of her whip on the door_ loud enough to waken the dead. This terrific thumping brought three or four servants scampering to the door; and close at their heels, holding a bed room candle-stick high on his head. came the “grand seigo near” of the household, himself look- ing slightly bewildered at this at- tempt to heard him by force. â€"'â€"â€"â€"-r . “1,8.th if it ain’t Miss Pet :” eja- culated the man who admitted her. ”Might 0’ known _"twa.r she; nobody ,9 I 121-- A,.L While Pet paused to deliberate a moment whether she ‘would rouse them up or ride home to Heath Hill, oh. chanced to turn her eyes in the direction 0! the White Squallâ€"as the old sailor, Admiral Havenlul, had named his huge white palace of painted wood-and perceived a. long line of red light streaming from one of the windows far ovar the dry level And. again Pet flourished her whip among them, in a. way that. had the qflect of speedily sending them flying moor - to the kitchen regions, while .8110 gave her passive uncle a push that lent him into the parlor {tom which he had just emerged. :ounde'd companion.
