The ship. The emigrants.
In the distance, in the engraving, we see the ship in which this man is going to sail. We see a company of emigrants, too, down the road, going to embark. There is one child walking alone behind her father and mother, who seems too young to set out on such a voyage.
SILVER BOWL STOLEN.
Bruno belonged to several different masters in the course of his life. He was always sorry to leave his old master when the changes were made, but then he yielded to the necessity of the case in these emergencies with a degree of composure and self-control, which, in a man, would have been considered quite philosophical.
The hunter of the Alps, whose life Bruno had saved, resolved at the time that he would never part with him.
“I would not sell him,” said he, “for a thousand francs.”
They reckon sums of money by francs in Switzerland. A franc is a silver coin. About five of them make a dollar.
Bruno’s master is obliged to sell him. The reason why.
