Tommy's eyes dilated with surprise.
"Charley!" he exclaimed—"Wild Charley! He knows me, sir. We came over in the same ship together."
The young man advanced with a smile, and held out his hand.
"Glad to see you," he said; "I thought you had found a job in Liverpool."—This was said with an expressive wink.—"But how did you find me?"
"Chance," replied Tommy.
Rev. C. Floyd looked from one to the other.
"Do I understand that you two were shipmates?" he asked; "and that you have met here quite accidentally?"
"That's so, father," answered Charley. "Let Tommy come in by the stove and he'll tell you all about it."
