Poor Gogles had certainly made but a bad bargain. All the rest of the youngsters, including the Daring's midshipman and me, soon joined in the chase not all, however, to catch Gogles, but rather to impede his pursuers, and to give him a better chance of escape.
I went to the berth, now magnificently lighted by two purser's dips, which stood on the table, dropping fatness, in company with a bread-barge of biscuit, some tumblers, earthenware and tin mugs, a bottle of rum and a can of water, and surrounded by most of the members of the mess not on duty. Gogles followed me, and took his seat. The can of water and the biscuit was shoved over to him.
"Fifty cents for the trip and another fifty for going away at once and not hanging around, and fifty more for forgetting me the moment you leave?" I had until then worn my gogles, but removing them to wipe my face, he stared, and then said: "And another fifty for not running into anything, including milk wagons." I hesatated.
