'It'd be a good idee to buy it in, an' no mistake, "'Yes, says Eb, noddin', 'yes. Yes, so't would be. "'I donno's I'd do it, Silas, if I was you, says Timothy, frownin' judicial. 'Ain't you gettin' some stiff to take up with a new business? But Timothy is one o' them little pink men, an' you can't take his frowns much to heart. "'No, says Eb, shakin' his head. 'No.
Donaster was about to further insist, when Bill stepped quickly forward, shoved him roughly aside, and tore away the rope from its fastening. "Leave the fool if he doesn't want to come," he growled. "We can't waste any more time." The motor-boat immediately left the "Eb and Flo," and was soon bucking across the current to the left. Eben watched them as if in a dream.

But Harry had unlimited confidence in his friend, and so followed Tom, crouching, until they had hidden behind bushes along the trail. "Where be you, Dolph?" called the voice of Eb, as the pair drew near. "He's over there," spoke Reade, springing out of the bushes. "You'll join him after a bit."

The voice of Uncle Eb seemed far away, and when I sank in the snow and shut my eyes to sleep he shook me as a terrier shakes a rat. 'Wake up, my boy, said he, 'ye musn't sleep. Then he boxed my ears until I cried, and picked me up and ran with me along the side of the wall.
In spite of the start of his companions, Given passed them on a run and turned the corner, making straight for the stable. The three old chaps legged it into that building and disappeared from view. Nevertheless, Mrs. Given had seen them, and she was not far behind when they vanished through the wide-open door. She found Uncle Eb propped up with his cane, standing in a dark corner of a box stall.
There was no need to worry, however. His anger vanished when Snider and Eb departed. Besides, it appeared that he knew how they happened to be on board the "Hoppergrass." As soon as he had looked his boat over, he turned to Spook. "Your father said we'd find you when we found this boat! But I wasn't so sure.
