"Eight bells; the forward light is shining bright, and all's well! Kiss me again, Dickie, dear, and we'll go and find Aunt Mehitable—if she hasn't gone to bed."
Transcriber's Notes:

Page 141, "Dyke" changed to "Dyck" (place in Van Dyck)
Page 168, "maneuvering" changed to "manoeuvering" to match rest of usage in text (fortnight I've been manoeuvering)

Page 180, superfluous comma removed after "well" (file and keeping well)
Page 193, final period added to last line on page (blotted me out.)
