From the very start me and Tom allowed that there was somebody sick in the stateroom next to ourn, because the meals was always toted in there by the waiters. By and by we asked about it Tom did and the waiter said it was a man, but he didn't look sick. "Well, but AIN'T he sick?" "I don't know; maybe he is, but 'pears to me he's just letting on." "What makes you think that?"
Meantime, and as an evidence of how carefully every detail of their revenge had been planned, one of the ring-leaders had disappeared into the tavern, and now returned with a lighted brand. "You can threat and cuss all you hanker," he chuckled. "If we ain't to have no bounty, we'll give you some of ourn," he added malignantly, as he stooped and set fire to the pile of bills.
