"I think, Mr. Orpen, for working that maxim in your picket-boat, at Ajano."
"Thank you awfully, sir! but Plunky Bill was wounded twice, sir."
"Was he the seaman who fired it before you 'took on'?" asked the Captain.
"Yes, sir; he was hit twice before he gave up."
"I think, Mr. Orpen, you'll find that he has not been forgotten."
"Thank you, sir, awfully! I—I—must go and tell the Hun and the Sub—won't they be pleased?"
The Orphan thereupon dashed down the bridge ladder.
