The dive into the water was really only the beginning, and no wonder Jim Tracy was anxious as to what could be done to "fill them in." For the feats of the "human fish" had been widely advertised, and were "billed big," as it is called, on the posters.

There was another white man on the crew, but the rest were negroes. Monson was billed already for Martinique and Trinidad, and that was why I dealt with him, and got him cheap for a short trip beyond Tobago. Stevey Todd set out for the north to find some relatives he thought he had, but found none to his mind, and concluded he was an orphan.
