Synopsis

"Only one great mistake has been made, Louis Belgrave," said Captain George Scott Fencelowe. He was a young man of eighteen; but the title by which he was addressed was genuine so far as his position was actually concerned, though it would hardly have ed muster before a court of iralty of the United States, whose flag was displayed on the ensign-staff at the stern. The vessel was a small steam-yacht, only forty feet in length, but furnished in a miniature way with most of the appliances of a regular steamer.
