The curiosity of the passengers and crew of the Sylvania was equal to my own.
The Sylvania would not be likely to reach the same port before Sunday noon.
"Very well; if the Sylvania has the speed we will overhaul her, Captain Alick," added the pilot.
I kept the Sylvania on her course over the bar, and, as it was full tide, I had no fear of taking the bottom.
By the time the first boat came off from the knoll, the Sylvania looked nearly as neat as when she had left the great river.
