Chapter VII.
TIP'S HURRIED LANDING.
Tim went below, where Bobby was waiting for him, and the sight of his tear-filled eyes, and face red with the marks of the whipping, told the young gentleman from Minchin's Island that there were very many positions in the world more pleasant than that of Captain's boy on board the Pride of the Wave.
"What is the matter, Tim?" he asked, in a half-whisper.
"Nothin'," was the sobbing reply; and then the boy ran to the only living thing he knew that would sympathize with him in his grief.
Bobby stood back in astonishment as he saw Tim lie down by the side of that wonderful hunting dog, and, pouring out his grief in indistinct words, sob and cry in deepest distress.
"What is the matter, Tim? Don't cry so, but tell me what ails you."
