nd by
making a long tack out to sea, we shall weather the eastern point and
stand back again into this bay. Should the wind not drop, we shall do
it in four or five hours, though of course it is impossible to say how
long we shall be detained. However, we will trust to having a good
breeze, and at all events getting back before night. If we are kept
out, the worst that can happen will be to lose our sleep. We must keep
a vigilant watch, and on no account lose sight of the island."

To this Dick, of course, agreed; indeed, he would not have dreamed, now
that he was once afloat, of disputing any suggestion of one whom he
looked upon as his commanding officer.

"There is one thing you have forgotten, Hargrave."

"What is it, my lord?" asked Dick.

"You forget our compact, Hargrave. It must last until I dissolve it,
and that will not be while you and I are together," answered Lord
Reginald. "However, as I was going to observe, we have forgotten to
give this craft a name. She deserves a pretty one. Have you thought

"If I may be pardoned for proposing such a name, I should say call her

"Lady Julia, I have no doubt, would be flattered," said Lord Reginald,
with perfect gravity, "and I should be very happy to call our craft
after her; but I think, as you are the architect, and not only the
architect but chief constructor, that she should be called after your
sister. In my opinion the _Janet_ is a very pretty name."

"I would rather that you settled the point," answered Dick, "and if you
think fit to call her the _Janet_, I shall be perfectly pleased."

"The _Janet_ she shall be, then," answered Lord Reginald; and from
thenceforth their craft was called the _Janet_ by the two Crusoes.

After standing on for some distance, Lord Reginald proposed that they
should go about. This required no little skill and activity. It was
necessary to haul down a foresail and mainsail. This they did, Dick
leaping from one to the other, and shifting the yards over, ready to
hoist again, the staysail bringing her round, but as, from her length,
she was a long time about it, Dick found it necessary to get out one of
the paddles, a few strokes with which were of great service.

Lord Reginald managed the mizzen, while Dick rehoiste
