  "Thank you, sir; I'll go and buy some more papers."   "Not to-night. I want you to take a cruise with me."   "All right, sir."   "I suppose you'd like to know who I am?" said the sailor, as they moved off together.   "I suppose you're a sailor."   "You can tell that by the cut of my jib. Yes, my lad, I'm captain of the _Argo_, now in port. It's a good while since I've been in York. For ten years I've been plying between Liverpool and Calcutta. Now I've got absence to come over here."   "Are you an American, sir?"   "Yes; I was raised in Connecticut, but then I began going to sea when I was only thirteen. I only arrived to-day, and I find the city changed since ten years ago, when I used to know it."   "Where are you staying--at what hotel?"   "I haven't gone to any yet; I used to stay with a cousin of mine, but he's moved. Do you know any good boarding place, where they'd make me feel at home, and let me smoke a pipe after dinner?"
