A millionaire at sixteen : $b or, The cruise of the Guardian-Mother

“In Bermuda first, then in Nassau, and wherever the facts we learn
may take us, if it should be around the world,” said the squire with
enthusiasm.
“Louis insists that you go with us, Squire Scarburn, on our next
cruise,” added Captain Ringgold, who proceeded to relate all that had
been said on this subject, both by the owner and his mother.
“Something has been said before about my going with you, and there
was nothing I should have liked better. Now I have a good excuse for
doing so. Since you went away, I have agreed to take a partner, an
old friend, who is an honest man and a sound lawyer. It will take me
a month at least to complete my arrangements; but I will go then,”
replied the squire, who appeared to be as delighted as a child at the
prospect of such a voyage.
It was all arranged, and about the first of December the
Guardian-Mother sailed for Bermuda a second time, fitted out for a long
cruise, which might extend around the world. Louis Belgrave was still
“A Millionaire at Sixteen.” The cruise of the Guardian-Mother had been
successfully finished in the restoration of the mother of the young
millionaire; but those who are inclined to attend him still farther,
will renew their acquaintance with him in “A YOUNG KNIGHT-ERRANT; or,
Cruising in the West Indies.”
