He made an attempt to light it, but gave up the attempt and threw it over the side. "I'm sorry to see this happen, Mr. Locke," said Jarrow finally, as if he felt that he must say something to restore a pleasant status. "You know I've half a mind to put back to Manila and throw him ashore," said Locke, severely. "We're here for pleasure, Captain Jarrow, and we can't have any such scenes.
"Look here!" shouted Dinshaw, reaching into his pocket and fishing out the bill he got from Locke for his picture. "I can prove it! Here's money, planked down, and more where it comes from. I'm to go, I tell ye, an' if ye don't want none of it, I'll see Hood about a boat. I thought ye was a friend of mine, Jarrow, so I come to ye.
Doc reached the long boat and making frantic efforts to push it off finally got it afloat, and with an oar shoved it into deep water and began to scull it out rapidly, making a zigzag course for the schooner. "Can you beat it?" demanded Locke. "They've taken Jarrow prisoner! Now we are in for it!" "The crazy fools!" exclaimed Trask, as he saw Jarrow being hustled into the jungle by the crew.
"Gold!" exclaimed Jarrow. "Mr. Locke, ye're in on a good thing, if you'll let me say a word about it." "I'm a little bit mixed up on this thing," said Locke, with an amused smile at Trask. "You know more about the proposition than I do, captain. Of course, Captain Dinshaw talked with Mr. Trask " "I hope I ain't put my foot in anything," broke in Jarrow.

"Nobody's said anything 'bout ye bein' in the way," said Jarrow, with rising temper. "I'd be a heap more comfortable, sir," insisted Peth.
It was natural enough for a sailing master to resent the slightest implication that he was not efficient, and Trask was not so much concerned with Jarrow's hidden meaning on that score as with his covert acknowledgment that he had been watchful of Trask's attitude. It was something to know that Jarrow was keen enough to divine the fact that Trask was secretly critical.
"Can't you hear millions spoke of without actin' like a blasted whistlin' buoy?" demanded Jarrow, savagely. "I was took aback," said Peth. "Took aback! This ain't no business for a man who's got to blow off steam in public the minute he sniffs somethin' good! Things like that might bust up the whole business and sixty a day in it!" "I don't see what I done, skipper," whined Peth.

He told as history what he believed to be true, and collected his materials from sources acknowledged to be trustworthy; and he is always careful to tell us when he gives a story on evidence only hearsay.
