Peth he's out there. He's got an anchor laid out in the boat, to buoy it. He's sounding along inside the reef. We'll take a hawser out in the mornin', but if the weather falls, we can make fast right away. He'll run a heavin' line from the buoy so we can find it in the dark. I take it you're satisfied, Mr. Trask?" "Satisfied? Certainly."
"Support home industry, that's always been my motto. If I'm asked, I'll say the right sort of thing." "Good for you," said Jarrow. "This is Mr. Peth, my mate. We got to slide," and waving his hand at Wilkins, Jarrow walked toward the veranda while Peth gulped his gin and trailed after him with alacrity.
I want to know something about him." "Ain't I tellin' of ye?" asked Doc. "Who all can tell ye, if I don'? Reckon that Zamboanga planter's gwine come back to life jes' fo' talkin' purposes, Mr. Trask?" "But he and Captain Jarrow must get along if they've been together for several years." "Git along, man! Them two don' git along, not the way we-all say it. Mr. Peth an' de cap'n? Huh!
"You keep Dinshaw from shootin' off his face, that's all you got to do, and don't let Van know how things swung at the Bay View. I'm goin' to keep this business under gratin's." "You don't need to fret," said Peth. "I ain't fixin' to break nothin' out," and he tracked away to the Cuartel, weaving in and out among the litter of goods on the Mole.
This time it was louder, and Trask knew it was not the voice of Peth. "Hello!" he answered, gruffly, speaking as he thought Jarrow might if he were waiting for his treacherous crew to seize the schooner. "Who's that?" asked the voice. It was more cautious, and apparently worried. After a pause: "Is it Mr. Trask?" "Yes," replied Trask boldly. There was something hopeful in the tone of the other.
Marjorie came forward to her father, and finding that instead of a battle they were safer than ever, she began to cry softly. Bevins now advised that it was necessary to keep a sharp lookout toward shore. He was afraid that Peth and Doc would make some attempt to get out to the schooner. Shanghai Tom went to the galley and prepared a meal for the three who had returned.
At ten o'clock the barometer showed a disturbance of the diurnal range. It's below maximum." "Typhoon?" "Maybe. But I'm takin' no chances. I've got the crew out with a kedge anchor, up in that channel behind the reef, to haul in there if things look bad. Lie snug as a bug in a rug. That reef's a natural breakwater." "Then the boat took out a kedge?" "Yes." "Did Mr. Peth go, too?" "Why, yes, Mr.
What if Dinshaw had not been dreaming after all? Suppose Peth and Jarrow were plotting to play all hands double? But it would be silly to abandon the voyage just as they were about to arrive at the island, and while undoubtedly there had been gossip and conjecture about the island, it was quite possible that if Dinshaw had overheard some light talk, he had misinterpreted its import.
Doc had been told to return with the long boat after Jarrow was held up by Peth, and announce the captain's capture. When the captain came out again it was with the intention of getting aboard the schooner and putting Trask, Locke, and Marjorie ashore.
If you don't stand by me, the chance is gone. "'Cap'n Dinshaw, says I to him, 'I'll stand by if I can be any help, lose money or no. If me and my schooner's what you need, why, she's lyin' off the breakwater, and I'm your man. And Peth, my mate, he speaks up, and says to him: 'Dinny, don't you fret none, but leave it to Jarrow. He's the man to tie to if ye need help.
