They did, and thought of trying for a berth in her, having information that would be valuable to her captain. By a casual remark, Ned hinted that he had personal knowledge of some of the co-owners of the Golden Boar. Instantly a flood of questions poured forth, but no answers were returned. The brothers professed a bond of secrecy.
The shares of the co-owners are known as "pesos de posesion," "dollars of possession," corresponding to the value given them at some remote period.
