"Wot are ye talkin' about?" "You leave me alone, Hiram!
"Why, I'll have to trust to my swimming skill, I guess," replied Dave. "Um-m," observed Hiram thoughtfully, and, if the young aviator had been more watchful, he would have noticed that for the rest of the evening his willing assistant seemed to have something on his mind. "Hallo! Hallo!"
