"If we don't come up with something, we're goners." Phillip's jaw suddenly sagged as he stared at them. "You know what I think?" he said suddenly. "I think we've been prize idiots. We've gotten so rattled we haven't used our heads. And all the time it's been sitting there blinking at us!" "What are you talking about?" snapped Jake. "Unclebodies," said Phillip. "Oh, great God!"

"We we're goners, Trot!" sighed Cap'n Bill with a white, woebegone face. "I guess not, Cap'n," she answered calmly. "These pretty mermaids aren't going to hurt us, I'm sure."

Then they heard Harriet running toward them.
Rainey ain't on the ship's books Carlsen is. Lund ain't, but Simms is. I'm Simms. An' you" he stopped to grin at her "you're my daughter.
