"What made it so, love?"
"I had left Mamma that morning, and that made me unhappy."
"But you said it was partly pleasant?"
"Oh, that was because I had such a good friend on board," said
Ellen, her face lighting up, as his image came before her.
"Who was that?"
"I don't know, Ma'am, who he was."
"A stranger to you?"
"Yes, Ma'am I never saw him before I wish I could see him again."
"Where did you find him?"
"I didn't find him he found me, when I was sitting up on the highest part of the boat."
