"Cut him loose, fellows!" cried Flapp, and this was done, and Dick staggered to the table, clutched it, slid to the floor and acted as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Here are the other babies!" "What are you fellows trying to do here?" demanded Dick sternly, as he strode into the cabin. "Minding our business, booby!" leered Fred. "You've no right here. Get out!"
