French boat start with Jimmy in it。 To…night; then; I will see him;

again。 Hardly was the boat out of sight; when the captain came forward
and ordered the anchor weighed; he was going to sea。

upbraiding me for leaving you on the island。

Zealand; and after some further adventures; arrived home in less

dead… and I had every reason to suppose that he; too; was no more; but
a strange meeting was in store for us; one which made Toby's heart all
the lighter。
