After that, all was peaceful and quiet on the decks of the Spirit of '34. The members of the crew were lolling lazily about on the deck when suddenly a shout rang through the air. Land ho! Instantly everyone was on his feet and peering in the direction of the land. A little later the good ship sailed majestically into the harbor and dropped anchor.
