Chapter IV
CAPTAIN MARY. Mr. Murdoch had stood on the main street corner; taking notes for the _Eagle_, but now he came back to say the fire was out and it was nearly time for Sunday-school. It seemed strange to have Sunday-school just after a fire, but the Ogden family and its visitors at once made ready. It was a quarterly meeting, with general exercises and singing, and a review of the quarter's lessons. The church was full by the hour for opening, and the school had a very prosperous look.
