"What is more, I found that cargoes are run down here in a cove or rift upon your coast, where a handy boat is kept." "We've got a boat down the rift," said Aleck. "Exactly; one that runs to and fro between here and Rockabie." "Yes," said Aleck, mockingly; "to fetch fishing-tackle and grocery and writing paper; eh, uncle?"
Perhaps it was something in the air which made the Rockabie boys more pugnacious and their threats more dire.
Go right at him, and let him know as soon as you can that you beat. You'll be all right then. Maybe he'll let out at you at first, but all the time he'll be beginning to feel that you leathered a big hulking chap as is the worst warmint in Rockabie, and you'll come out all right.
