Chapter II
GOING HOME. It is more than hour since we left Morley Scott hailing the _Refuge_. How is it that the ship has not been moved yet? And here is the little boat turned homeward, and strangers have the charge of it. Is Charlie asleep, that he lies there so pale and still? he has not moved once since we looked.
