"Well I came to just a little," Graham explained, "I found that I was in a sort of cupboard place, behind the lockers these fellows have for their clothes. It opens with a spring lock, and you'd never notice it, searching the room." "Who was the first person you saw when you recovered consciousness?" Graham's forehead was wrinkled in the effort to remember.
We've got to get more seeds planted, and fast. Better keep word of this to ourselves. We " A shriek came from Jenny then. She'd been busy at one of the lockers in the chamber. Now she began ripping others open and pawing through things inside rubber-gloves. "Captain Muller! The seeds! The seeds!" Hal took one look, and his face turned gray. "Chromazone," he reported.
Their massive table, fitted exactly to its shape, occupied the whole space; and there was just enough room for moving around and sitting upon the narrow lockers fastened to the sides. Thick beams ran above them, very nearly touching their heads, and behind them yawned the berths, apparently hollowed out of the solid timbers, like recesses of a vault wherein to place the dead.
"Good sound reasonin', Jim," said the Little Giant, "an' we'll shorely take a good look through them wagons." The wagons, as usual with those crossing the plains, contained many little boxes and lockers and secret places, needful on such long journeys, and they searched minutely through every square inch of the interior space.
An instant later the crowd came boiling up the short stair to the deck, Kurzbold in command, all swords drawn, and glistening in the moonlight.

However, the matter which just then most concerned me was the liquor that I was in search of, that I might a little stay my stomach with it against the hunger that was tormenting me; and so I ransacked the lockers that ran across the stern of the ship and across a part of the bulkhead forward, in the faint hope that I might come upon another supply but my search was a vain one, two of the lockers having only some mouldy clothing in them, and all the rest being filled with arms.
I left all the rest of the table furniture, sir; though I suppose these muscle-men will not have much use for any but the oyster-knives, as I am informed they eat with their fingers. I declare it is quite oppressive and unhuman to have such wagabonds rummaging one's lockers!"
Of course, when there is sport in it you set every kite you've got in your lockers and, you know, Elsa, I never took my mains'l in yet while there was one standing in the fleet, even ordinary fishing days." "I know it; you've scared me half to death a dozen times with your sail-carrying."
