It was now morning, for which all were thankful. The lights were put out, and the whole party partook of some of the provisions on hand. "I believe Merrick would have left us to starve," said Sam. "He is the greatest rascal I ever knew!" The Rover boys pointed out the direction Sid Merrick and his party had taken.
At the same time it struck me that whatever the nature of the singularity investing him it partook of nothing repellent, but, on the contrary, measurably enhanced his attractiveness; making him "different" and lending him a distinction which, without it, he might have lacked.
The anxiety of Mr. and Mrs. Harris over the whereabouts of their son being set at rest by his dramatic appearance at the head of his martial following, there was nothing for them to do but surrender to Scoutmaster Ned, while the party partook of breakfast in the fallen fortress. "He will eat you out of house and home," warned Mrs. Harris; "I only want to warn you beforehand."
As The Rover, with her nimble cargoes, was first cousin to The Flying Dutchman, with his crew of ghosts, so the bills received by Severne, as purchase-money for his ship, necessarily partook of that ship's aerial character.
