"And see the what are we supposed to call these?" and she pointed to pots, pans, dishes and other utensils that hung around the galley. "Oh, call 'em galley truck, that's as good a name as any," said the old captain. "Do you like this, Bet?" "Like it, Uncle Amos! It's the dearest little boat in the world. I don't deserve it.

"Remember, Manning," he called from the doorway, "the bet is two to one, and are you going to get tired of washing pots and pans!" He waved his hand at Corbett and disappeared.
