Then, still more to the astonishment of the cap- Ulua of the fast Steamers aud the world nt large. Ue commenced to ba- k himself to make the fuatest passage home. In such very considerable ruins of money did he wager that people be gan tn think there was something in It. and the men bants scut their leu almost entirely to Ilia ship, arguing ! that as the captain atimd to lose l-’.'*u the repairs to bls steamer's engines hail probably put him In n position to bet almost <>ti a certainty. Of course Hie steamer, whose great est s|>eed was eight knots an hour, ar rived In Englund weeks after the oth ers. and the captain lost tt’.'Si.
