"Here you are," said the skipper, with attempted cheerfulness, as he gave the girl his right hand, while his left strayed vaguely in the direction of the boy's ear, which was coldly withheld from him. "Go down below, and the mate'll show you your cabin. Bill, this is Miss Cooper, a lady friend o' mine, and her brother."
"Well, say thank you, if you can't say nothing else," suggested his tormentor hopefully. "I couldn't bring nothing else," said Tommy hurriedly; "all the things was locked up. I tried to swop 'em and nearly got locked up for it. Put these on and hurry up." The captain moistened his lips with his tongue. "The mate'll get off directly she floats," continued Tommy.
I've 'eard tell of stowaways, but never as I remember of a pair as 'ad the use of the captain's cabin, and 'im a widower with an extry bunk still fitted for the deceased. O' course we'll 'ave to smuggle yer away somewheres before the old man comes aboard. But the mate'll do that easy. 'E promised me." "Bill, you are an angel!"
"It doesn't matter," she said coldly. "Goodnight." "Where are you going?" asked Wilson. "Going to find a hotel," said Annis; "there's no train back to-night." "Take the cabin," he said entreatingly, "I and the mate'll sleep for'ard." "No, thank you," said Annis. She stepped to the side, and, assisted by the skipper, clambered up on to the quay again.
"Come along below, Jim, and let 'em go for now. Quick, or the mate'll have ye. Thirkle said he'd have the fo'c's'le by now. He run the chinks out, him and Petrak. Scuttled 'em aft. Come below." "Not till Mr. Mate 'as this in 'is ribs," said Long Jim. "Ye fool here they be, on us, and Harris with a couple of guns.
"Take care!" exclaimed John Adams as he left the quarter-deck with his hands in his pockets; "your mate'll butt you overboard, Sal, if you don't look-out."
And I also move that Phineas Scraggs be appointed chief navigatin' officer of this packet, to retain his title of captain, and to be obeyed and respected as such by every man aboard with the exception of me and Gib. The present mate'll do the navigatin' while Scraggsy's learnin' the deep sea stuff." "Second the motion," said Captain Scraggs briskly.
