Mr. Trant, himself now called out "Oh-ho; give way, boys, and come alongside." This we did, and a very few strokes took us up to the Julia, where we were received with the utmost kindness. The men were passed out of the boat, while I gave Mr. Trant an account of all that had happened. This took but a minute or two. Mr.
They sends back two hundred, b'gum! Yes, Sir, Cap'n Bill took the check up to Wiscasset and got the money on it from the bank. Two hundred dollars!

Then Dirty Dan's whiskered upper lip twisted humorously, and he whispered audibly: "Ye young divil! Oh-ho, ye young vagabond!
