“On time!” exclaimed Waddie, as I came out of the wheel-house, after the boat was secured at the wharf. “Yes, and more too,” I replied. “We are ahead of the Lightning Express this time.” “I want to be reasonable, but I never felt so much like crowing as I do to-day. By the great horn spoon, I think we have all been asleep on this side of the lake since the _Ucayga_ commenced running,” added Waddie, with enthusiasm.
