Chapter XIII
TURNED ADRIFT. FRANK looked, and was not a little surprised to find that the Tycoon, which he had all the while supposed was following the boat, was almost out of sight. He did not understand it at first, but a single glance at the faces of his companions explained it all. Even Lucas, who had shown so much courage a few minutes before, betrayed the utmost consternation now. "Well, Nelson," said Mr. Gale, in a tone of resignation, "Captain Barclay has got rid of you at last."
