Chapter XII
IN A NEW WORLD. Jack Ogden stood like a boy in a dream, as the "Columbia" swept gracefully into her dock and was made fast. Her swing about was helped by the outgoing tide, that foamed and swirled around the projecting piers. A hurrying crowd of people was thronging out of the "Columbia," but Jack's German friend did not join them. "De ceety vill not roon avay," he said, calmly.
