In the snug cabin below, Captain Josh Peterson, a squarely-built, middle-aged seaman, with a resolute weather-beaten face, had just shaken hands, for at least the third time, with a manly-looking young fellow in his seventeenth year, who had just come on board. Van Briscoe - for by this name will the hero of my story be known - was tall and sinewy for his years, with pleasant clear-cut features, a trifle bronzed by sea air.
