"Sit down!" growled Browning. "You are shutting out the view!"
"What view?" Danny demanded.
"The view of the steamer's funnel. I'd rather look at that. It can smoke
and keep still--and you can't."
Inza and Elsie came along, accompanied by Merriwell and Bart Hodge.
Winnie Lee, who was at present under her father's displeasure for her
persistence in continuing to encourage Buck Badger, was not aboard, but
Amy May was a member of the party. At the moment, she was conversing
gaily with Bernard Burrage, Inza's semi-invalid father, on the
forward-deck.
"We're going to have a fog!" said Merriwell, speaking to Bruce and those
near. "I have been hoping it would hold off until we reach New York, but
it isn't going to."
"I'd rather be in a ship that has fits now and then, than to be stuck in
a fog-bank!" Bink declared. "I guess that New Haven boatman was a
prophet, after all."
The _Merry Seas_ was a steamer running on a somewhat irregular schedule
to New Haven and New London, and back to the great metropolis by the sea
route along the ocean side of Long Island, touching at one or two Long
Island points.
Merriwell's friends had decided on a steamer voyage to New York and back
as a change from the usual work and athletics at Yale. Not that they
were tired of either.
