"Pinnace ahoy!" cried the officer through a speaking trumpet, "who are you?"
"Shipwrecked mariners," cried Fritz, in reply.
"What is the name of your craft?"
"The Mary."
"What country?"
"Switzerland."
"I was not aware that Switzerland was a naval power," observed Willis.
"She has no sea-port," said Jack, "but she has a fleet—of row boats."
"Where do you hail from?" inquired the officer.
"New Switzerland."
