"Old Prosser was very civil," said Bertie. "He said that as their ships
were chiefly in the South American trade it would be a great advantage
for me to learn to speak Spanish well. They had not yet thought
anything about whether they should order another ship to replace the
_Stella_; at any rate, at present they had no vacancy, and would gladly
give me permission to travel in South America, and would find me a
berth to finish my apprenticeship when I returned. More than that, they
said that as I had always been so favourably reported upon they would
put me on as a supernumerary in the _Para_, which will sail in a
fortnight for Callao. I should not draw pay, but I should be in their
service, and the time would count, which would be a great pull, and I
should get my passage for nothing."

"That is capital. Of course I will take a passage in her too."

"And what does Mr. Barnett say?"

"Rather to my surprise, Bertie, he did not disapprove of the plan at
all. He thought it would be a good thing for me to have you with me in
case of illness or anything of that sort. Then no doubt he thought to
some extent it would keep you out of mischief."
