't you guess?" says I. "I'm Shorty McCabe."

"Oh!" says he, and you could hear the ha-ha's come across the water from
all along the line. There was a wait for a minute, and then he hails
again. "Ahoy, Shorty McCabe!" says he. "The Commodore presents his
compliments and says he hopes you liked your wedding salute; and if you
don't mind, the gun crews want to give three cheers for Mrs. McCabe."

So Sadie and I stands up by the rail, with more lime light on us than we
ever had before or since, and about six hundred Jackies gives us their
college cry. There wa'n't anything slow about that as a send off for a
weddin' tour, was there? But then, as I says to Sadie: "Look who we
are."

And say, if you'll be on the dock when we come back from Bar Harbor,
we'll take you along down to Old Point with us. Eh? Think it over.
