Chapter XII
"There are the cliffs!" said Mr. Ridgeway, pointing through the fog as it broke for a moment. "Sail high, Lawrence, as you approach the coast. As soon as you are over the cliffs, set your course to the southeast and keep straight on. We will reach our destination this afternoon, and tomorrow we will go on to our second stop, to return the papers." He gave a sigh.
