The Mabel Kinsella was on Brown's' Bank again on her second trip, and Westhaver was at the wheel, while the vessel was jogging to the string of dories. The day was eunshine and fleecy clouds with but a light westerly breeze and a smooth sea, and the gang on the water were making a four-tub set.

The latter instruction did not quite! fall in with Frank's wishes. He want- ed to back to Boston and Carle, but fishermen and sailors are a class! that have to obey orders "even if they break owners," and Shorty's personal! desires were not to be considered in business, At Vinal Haven he had written her a letter telling of his ill. luck on his first trip, and in it he had asked her to wait in patience until he had made good. "And, dearie," he had waid, "I hope to get back to Bos-: tom Th the vessel is hauled up in| June.
