As the Dolphin had been running for so many hours out of her course, she was considerably to the southward of the Straits, though the mate asserted that they would be able to fetch the entrance of the Straits if the wind held the following day. Nothing more was seen of the Algerine during the night, and hopes were entertained that she would not again attempt to molest them.
We are poor Picard fishermen, thrown upon the coast by a storm. It is certain that we must sell fish, neither more nor less, like true fishermen.

"Well, if you are going you can have your boat and the canoe," said Snap, after a consultation with his chums. "But you must give us your solemn promise not to molest us again."

"Thanks, but we are not in that business." "I never took a bribe yet, and I've been on the force six years," put in Carter.
I shall soon overtake them, and you may depend the big drunken bully shall neither insult nor molest her. Good-night. It was a lonely walk for a girl to take on a winter evening, although the weather was brilliantly light and clear, and it was not yet much past seven o'clock.
"March the coach off, if you please, sergeant; but we are innocent, like the new-hatched babes which we are," cried Dicky Sharpe, who was one of those in custody. "The order is against people on horseback coming this way: we hadn't even horses to our egg-shell." The sergeant, amused by the way Dicky took up his joke, and seeing there was no use detaining us, consented not to molest us.
