"I wish we could slip some of these little mutton pies back with us!" sighed Dan wistfully.
In the afternoon the three chums saw the newer market place, where all three bought small souvenirs for their mothers at home. Darrin also secured a little remembrance present for his sweetheart, Belle Meade.
The guild hall and some of the other famous buildings were visited.
Later in the afternoon Dave began to inspect his watch every two or three minutes.
"No need for us to worry, with Dave's eye glued to his watch," laughed Dan.
"Come on, fellows," summoned Darrin finally. "We haven't more than time now to make the dock and get back to supper formation."
"Take a cab?" asked Farley. "You know, we've found that they're vastly cheaper than American cabs."
"No-o-o, not for me," decided Dave. "We'll need the rest of our shore money to-morrow, and our legs are good and sturdy."
Yet even careful Dave, as it turned out, had allowed no more than time. The chums reached the dock in time to see the launches half way between the fleet and shore. Some forty other midshipmen stood waiting on the dock.
Among these were Pennington and his party, all looking highly satisfied with their day's sport, as indeed they were.
