Here, with a parting word, we must leave the manly young fellows whose adventures on the Fishing Banks we have followed so closely. Breeze--or “Sir Breeze,” as his college friends delight to call him--and Wolfe are no longer dorymates, but classmates. The former means to study law, and says that, though he had an English father, his mother was an American, and as he was born in America, he may some day be President of the United States. Who knows?
Wolfe says that although, having been born an Irishman, he can never be the head of the nation, he would like to be Secretary of the Navy. He begs that his friend will bear this in mind when he becomes President, and Breeze gravely says he will.
Wolfe does not like to study, but Breeze keeps him up to it, while he keeps Breeze from studying too hard.
With a portion of the wealth that is soon to become his, Breeze expects to build a steam-yacht which shall be the equal, in every respect, of the Saga. Her name is to be Merab, and her private signal a blue flag bearing a golden ball, while on her bows, in letters of gold, is to be engraved the legend, “Point True.”
THE END.
