"You never told any one what you were going to do, Brand? Nobody helped you?" "Not a soul! I'm not yo'r blabbin' sort! But now I'm done I'm clemmed!" And he tottered against the bridge as he spoke. Baden caught him.
Since I've settled and married and got property, I've woke up in the night, sometimes, and thought what would happen to me if that Portygee's relatives got track of me through one of the crew standin' in with 'em blabbin' for what he could git out of it.

I ain't goin' to take chances on his blabbin'! He goes along, and I'll fix him so's he won't blab and nobody'll get our trail if they do hunt us. The snow'll hide it," insisted Bill. "Well, let's get a move on then," said Hank. "The wind's risin' and it's goin' to kick up a sea. I don't want to be caught out on the Bay again in a sea like we had that other time.
But as you say, there's time enough, and my single and solitary advice to both o' you, is, don't look at one another before folks, if you can't keep your eyes from blabbin'.
