Mra., Murdoch retorted angrily. "The
captain has already said he hae nae use frae
Teddy!"
Jamieson considered for a -,few moments.
What Chippy had said was true; but he had
no intention of interfering in family matters.
,"The decision is in your hands, Hamish,"
he told -Murdoch. "He is your responsibility,
and if •you say he can 'go, I will take him
along.
Young,Teddy's face lit up like a lamp and
-he looked anxiously. at his stepfather for a
fayoitrable re.ply.

,"Take. the lad wi' ye," Murdoch said
decisi4ely. "We hae no right tae deny him a
chance vithich-may no come again!"
The next day, Jamieson; Chippy Chisholm
and young Teddy Murdoch left for Toronto.
They took a wagon to carry all their
belongings, and Neil MacCrimmon went
along with them so that he could return it to
Redtrees. The three 'older men sat at the
front but Teddy had to be content with the
more bumpy ride behind the • seat He was
very excited and kept asking many questions
about the future voyage.
"Will it be a big ship, captain?" he
asked. "A great bigschooner - with three
'masts?" 's
• ,
Jamieson was annised by the boy's
enthusiasm. At seventeen, Teddy was like
all youths of his age full of vim and the spirit
of adventure.
"At the moment lad, I have no idea,"
Jamieson said. "We shalt have to. take
whatevekwe. pm. At thislime of year, if *ill
be difficult tO. find any kind of a vessel. Most
of them will be away.or taking on cargo and
the plans of the shipping companies will
already have been Made.", •
• "And the crew, sir: Where shall we get a
crew?"
"That will be less difficult," Jamieson
said. "There are always seamen looking for
a ship, but of course we shall have to be
careful who we sign on. Itds a long voyage
and a ship is only as good as its crew:"
"Don't ye Worryabout the men lad,"
Chippy interjected. "I'll give 'em a good
lookin' over before they step on board a ship
ChiPpk) Chisholm. I can, smell every
'rotten apple in the barrel, long before I take
off the lid!"
To Teddy :11.4urdoch, it seemed # iong way
tolCorontO# ;and he was very glad when they
arrived at the junction of Yonge and Front
Streets. Until they had made all their
arrangements, they were to sty in the New
American Hotel. This -too -was a. grand new
experience for the lad.
Before he, left •for the return journey,
MacCrinimon shook each of them warmly by
the - hand. He had a special word for Ian
Jamieson.
"Rap the first tithe in many a year, I
canna do anything tae help ye. But I want ye '
tae know that we shall all travel wi' ye in our
heart. Ye're a brew man, Captain Jamie-
son. I wish ye God speed, a safe journey and
come - back hame soon tae Redtrees."
