"What will you do, then?" demanded the uncle, somewhat offended at this flat rejection of his proposal. The lad thought for a moment, and then said quietly but decidedly, "I'll go to sea." "Go to the world's end if you like," returned the uncle, who was proud and touchy, and hated the sea; "but don't ask me to help you.
