"Of the Norfolk Fellowes?" enquired Captain Acton, after bows and smiles had been exchanged.
"Ay, sir," exclaimed the Admiral; "and as a man of Norfolk myself I am proud of the family whose records do honour to the dear old county."
"Pray, what is your ship, sir?" asked Captain Acton.
"The Phœbe."
"Who's her captain?"
"Lord Garlies."
"Ha!" said Captain Acton. "He was at St Vincent."
"As a spectator only, I think, sir," answered Mr Fellowes.
"His lordship evidently suspects us," said Captain Acton, laughing.
