No, sir; it'd be much wiser for me to keep the dog that followed me aboard." "I'll give ten pounds in the bargain," the captain proffered.
"Why, no," he said; "I haven't just come to makin' dollars out of other folks' dog-stealin'. No, sir. But it's true enough I have paid, in a way, for Jan; an' I guess there's not another son of a gun in Canada, but his rightful owner, with money enough to buy the dog from me. I'd not've sold him. And I'll not sell him now because a sun-dried salmon could see he's yours a'ready.
