AMERICAN BOYS AFLOAT
CHAPTER I
THE SALIHÉ ALONGSIDE THE GUARDIAN-MOTHER
"It seems to me that I have seen that little steam-yacht before," said
Louis Belgrave, as the four young Americans stood upon the promenade
deck of the Guardian-Mother, of which the speaker was the owner, though
the young man was only seventeen years of age.
"Be the modther of me, it's the Sally Hay!" exclaimed Felix McGavonty,
the Milesian of the party, though he could pronounce the President's
English as well as any of his companions when he chose to do so.
"She certainly looks just like the Salihé," added George Scott
Fencelowe, whom everybody on board addressed as Scott simply: and the
three who had spoken had made a voyage in the little steamer from
Funchal in Madeira to Gibraltar, where the Guardian-Mother was now
moored inside of the New Mole.
"You fellows who have made a long cruise in her ought to know her if
she is the Salihé," said Morris Woolridge. "I never even saw her but
once, and I can throw no light on the subject."
"She was painted white when we made our trip in her, and now she is the
color of a black cat," continued Scott, the oldest of the party and
the best sailor and boatman, for he was eighteen, while Morris, the
youngest, was only fourteen.
"It seems to me to be hardly possible that she can be the Salihé,
though she looks like her in everything except her color," replied
Louis. "If the Fatimé were here, I should have no doubt it was she."
