"That air the name ez the chunky man gin him when they fust kem in." And thus it was that when the Coggins were presently brought before the justice, they were exonerated of all complicity in the crime for which Brierwood and his accomplice were afterward arrested, tried, and sentenced to the State Prison.
"Bah!" sneered Coggins. "I meant what I said, but as the young fellow is not yet out of his teens, I'll pay no attention to his words. It wouldn't look well for me to thrash a boy." "You might find that you had your hands full if you tried it," said Dick, coldly.
One ole man ole Sam Coggins, up ter Sims's Mill says ter me, he says, 'I dunno yer brother, Justus Hoxon; but blister my boots, ef I don't vote fur anybody ez air kin ter you-uns, an' ez ye hev set yer heart on 'lectin' ter office. An' the way folks inquired arter ye, an'" "I ain't talkin' 'bout the 'lection," Wat broke in brusquely. "I war axin' 'bout 'Dosia.

"I don't feel sleepy," murmured young Coggins. "Wouldn't it be nice to sleep on deck to-night?" "Deck for mine!" said Porky in a low voice.
As usual, they thought the same thing, and as they were fully conscious that they were doing so, they found the process as satisfactory as a regular spoken conversation. "Me for bed," said Coggins finally. "You don't mean bed, do you?" asked Porky. "How the Captain would feel if he should hear you call his nice berths 'beds!" "I thought you were coming on deck," said Beany.

"Well, you might have held your own with Coggins, but I doubt it a little." "Better be a bit careful how you ruffle him, young man," said another soldier.
