First Sentence: It was nearly an hour after sunrise, but some rags and patches of the morning mist still lingered over the dancing waters of Mobile Bay, and Captain Maxwell rubbed his glasses again and again as he tried to make out the exact nature of the apparently brand-new, brightly-painted red buoy that rose and fell in the swashing sea about a mile and a quarter to the northward. (Good News edition)
Last Sentence: He left home a good-for-naught, but he was a commissioned second lieutenant when the old Hartford, some months later, cast anchor at the mouth of the North River. (Good News edition)
