F-Father said she was d-down at W-W-Woodwell's Wharf C-C-Captain B-Bill had brought her over in the morning, and then he'd gone back to P-Porpoise Island. He was engaged to c-c- cook c-c-clam chowders at the American House. W-We were going to sail her over to Big D-Duck S-S-Spike and I w-w-while F-Father m-messed around and th-thought he was running the whole s-s-show. That was his p-p-p-plan.
"Yes," said I. And I told them my name. "That's my shirt you've got on, by the way." "T-t-tell him about it, S-S-Spike," said the one at the wheel. "Tell him yourself!" growled the other. "W-Well," said the steersman, giving the wheel a twist, "you s- see... you s-see... oh! I can't t-tell him, it makes me s- stutter so d-darned much!" "Go ahead!" returned Spike.
I thought I might do so, myself, so I took off my wet clothes, and spread them out in the sun. Then I went below, found my bag, brought it up on deck, and began to dress again. He went on, in the meantime, with his story. "Well, F-Father didn't c-c-confess his f-foul p-plot till the very d-day we were going to Big D-Duck. That was it was oh, when was it, S-S-Spike?"
But these bags were marked a lot of strange names, Toppan, and Edwards, and so on." "T-Tell him about the n-name, S-S-Spike." "Oh, yes. There was a strip of canvas hitched over the stern, it had something painted on it in black letters. I hung over the stern, but I couldn't make it out, because it looked upside down, of course.
We t-talked it over that afternoon, out in the b-barn, and we decided to k-k-k-k-quit. We'd t-take the b-boat ourselves, and " "We were all going to sail over to Big Duck in a cat-boat, you know. Father hires a boat every summer." "S-Say, S-S-Spike, g-go ahead, if you want to." "I don't. You go on, you're getting there all right. You'll come to the point in an hour or two."
