"We sure won't," agreed Frank. "I suppose Judith's all broke up, poor little devil!" Douglas nodded. "I saw her and Inez hobnobbing in the Rodmans' corral to-day," said Young Jeff.
An attempt to put Rodman in irons was fiercely resisted by a number of his shipmates, who were led by his younger brother.
