lying Cloud's_ hold; but even this complicated matter was settled
after a time, and now the good ship's name never appears in the public
prints except in the advertising columns as being "for Melbourne
direct," or among the shipping news as "spoken" or "arrived."

Like most seamen, Ned was generosity itself, and had he been allowed to
have his way, the treasure found at Refuge Harbour would have been
equally divided among all those who had participated with him in that
adventurous voyage; but to such a proposal, of course, not one of the
interested parties would listen. Nicholls and Price, however,
eventually consented to accept a moderate pension, and the doctor and
the engineer point proudly to their trophies of ancient arms as they
tell the story connected with them to their friends. Captain Blyth
still commands the _Flying Cloud_, ship and captain alike being the most
popular in the trade; and Bob Manners was, at latest accounts,
superintending, on full pay, the building and equipment of a magnificent
yacht, in which Mrs Damerell, _nee_ Stanhope, hopes to accompany her
husband on a luxurious trip round the world.
