The prospects looked bright to the two horse thieves, and as soon as Loring returned to the houseboat he and Hamp Gouch applied themselves arduously to the liquor taken from Captain Starr's private locker. "Those fellows mean to get drunk," whispered Lew FIapp, in alarm. "I'm afraid so," answered Baxter. "But it can't be helped."
"Well, Bill Warson 'lows that if they's any good looks in the family, they come from him." "Maw, you-all got a hairpin? Give hit to me next time I turn co'ners." "Look at Evvie Williams! She always gets a seat nex' the window, so's she c'n talk to some feller out o' hit." "Ah did, too, when Ah was that age." "Yes, Ah remember you did. Ah don' guess Hamp Pinner's goin' to dance with Ollie tonight."
Against the wishes of Baxter and Flapp, Jake Shaggam was allowed on board the houseboat and taken to the living room. Here he was given something to eat and drink and some tobacco. "You're a good fellow, Jake," said Hamp Gouch. "Mighty good fellow. Show you something," and he took the old man to where the girls were locked in. "Better stop this," said Flapp, in increased alarm.

But, say Hamp, Edith Carr was just about the finest woman in the world high-toned and proud and noble, and playing her ideals to win at all kinds of odds. She certainly was a crackerjack." "After I renounced the world," said the hermit, "I never heard of her again." "She married me," said Binkley.
"You start to do the towing, and be quick about it. Hamp, get on board at once! Remember, Sculley, you ain't seen or heard of us, understand?" "All right, Pick." The gasolene launch came close once more, and the fellow called Hamp leaped on board. He carried a rifle and was evidently a desperate character. "See here, I don't understand your game?" began Baxter.
