Chapter XX
A LATE DINNER. Wade was positively alarmed when he heard the captain call for the steward. Was it possible that the skipper had only half finished his breakfast, and had gone on deck for a few minutes, intending to return and complete the meal when he had looked out for the course of the yacht? “Pollish!” shouted the captain angrily, when his first call brought no response; and the second gave no better result. Capt. Bendig seemed to be angry, and he stalked out of the room.
