A steamer had been three days out on her voyage from Liverpool to New York, when a stowaivay, a little boy, was found on board the ship. He was immediately brought before the captain, and the sailors and the passengers formed a ring round the little fellow. The captain, in an angry voice, said, »Well, my boy, what has brought you here?« The boy replied, »My father and mother are dead, and my stepfather stoived me away to get rid of me; he says I am to go to my aunt in New York, and here is her address.« So saying he put his hand into his pocket and brought out a dirty piece of paper. The captain refused to believe his story, however, and declaring that one of the sailors must have helped the boy and given himfood in his hiding-place, he ordered him to point outthe man, or it would be bad for him. The boy looked upquietly and answered, »1 have told you the truth,and I have no more to tell.« Then the captain ordered a rope to be fastened to the yard, put the noose round the boy’s neck, and, taking out his watch, said to him: »I’ll give you fifteen minutes to confess, and if you do not tell the truth before the time is up, I’ll hang you like a dog.« The boy said nothing. »Eight minutes,« shouted the captain; »your time is nearly up.« »May I say my prayers, please?« said the boy. The captain nodded, and the boy, with the rope round his neck, went down on his knees and lifted up his hands to pray. Having finished, he rose and put his hands behind his back, saying, »Now I am ready«. Then the captain could stand it no longer. Seizing the boy in his arms he burst into tears, saying, »God bless you, my boy! You are a true Englishman. You would not tell a lie to save yourlife. Your stepfather has turned you out,but I will be' your father from this day forth.« And the captain kept his word. stowaway, blind Passager. — to stow away , at skjule i Lasten. — yard, Raa. — noose, Løkke. — to confess, at tilstaa, bekende.
