whole streets, look as though the houses had been built since that time.
This is especially true of many of the streets near the water front. For two hours the three middies roamed through the streets, often meeting fellow classmen. Wherever the young midshipmen went many of the English workmen and shopkeepers raised their hats in friendly salute of the American uniform. "We don't seem to run across Pen's gang anywhere," remarked Farley at last. "Oh, no," smiled Dave. "That's a capitalistic crowd. They'll hit only the high spots." Nevertheless, these three poor-in-purse midshipmen enjoyed themselves hugely in seeing the quaint old town. At noon they found a real old English chop house, where they enjoyed a famous meal. "I wish we could slip some of these little mutton pies back with us!" sighed Dan wistfully. In the afternoon the three chums saw the newer market place, where all three bought small souvenirs for their mothers at home. Darrin also secured a little remembrance present for his sweetheart, Belle Meade. The guild hall and some of the other famous buildings were visited. Later in the afternoon Dave began to inspect his watch every two or three minutes. |
