If you will insist upon talking with the scoundrel, at least permit me to be within call. What do you want to talk to him for, anyhow?" "Neither of you will stoop to ask him questions, so I had to. And I have learned one thing. He is going pearl hunting." "What? Off the Catwick? There's no pearl oyster in that region," Dennison declared. "Either he is lying or the Catwick is a blind.
The word of a rogue! There was now nothing to do but turn in. He believed he had a glimmer. Somewhere off the Catwick Cunningham and his crew were to be picked up. He would not be going to the Catwick himself, not knowing whether it was jungle or bald rock. But if a ship was to pick him up, why hadn't she made Shanghai and picked him up there?
So you won't have anything but your boson's whistle. You're a bigger man than I am physically, and I've a slue-foot, a withered leg; but I've all the barroom tricks you ever heard of. So don't make any mistakes in that direction. You are free to come and go as you please; but the moment you start any rough house, into your cabin you go, and you'll stay there until we raise the Catwick.
You may not find a bucketful in Singapore. In America you can always commandeer it, having ships and coal mines of your own. The drop down to Singapore from the Catwick is about forty hours. You have coal in Manila. You can cable for it." "You are honestly leaving us at that island?" "Yes, sir. You can, if you wish, take the run up to Saigon; but your chance for coal there is nil."
I wish to come through clean in the hands so far as your father, Miss Norman, and yourself are concerned. I'm risking my neck and my liberty, for this is piracy on the high seas. But every man is entitled to one good joke during his lifetime, and when we raise the Catwick I'll explain this joke in full. If you don't chuckle, then you haven't so much as a grain of humour in your make-up."
