It would be difficult to describe the looks or feelings with which the three friends received this information. Ebony's eyes alone would have taken at least half-an-hour of the pencil to portray. "But but why?" stammered Mark. "Never mind the why," continued the outlaw, with a pleasant look.
It puzzled me to see how coolly the others took it, but I supposed that they were used to losing fish from the badness of their tackle, and besides, there was evidently a big one on Mr Ebony's line to take their attention.
"Well, I must confess to bein' surprised summat," said the seaman, referring to Mark's observation, not to Ebony's. They were destined to receive some additional surprises before that day was over.
