It is not altogether a bad thing for the company, who get more or less efficient hands for nothing but a few plates of junk and duff; and every now and again find themselves better paid than by a whole family of cabin passengers.
"Duff, I'm afraid you're making a fool of yourself," remarked Tom, stepping forward, smiling cheerfully. Yet another murmur, now growing to a yell, rose from some of the men a few of the men, too, who were not Mexicans, and a half-hearted rush was made in the young engineer's direction. "Throw him out! Hustle the boy out!" Duff urged. "Stop!
