The boat-puller obeyed, taking a turn around the little forward thwart and paying the line as it jerked taut. The boat sheered out with a rush, and the hunter steadied it to a parallel course some twenty feet from the side of the Ghost. "Now, get that sail down and come alongside!" Wolf Larsen ordered. He never let go his rifle, even passing down the tackles with one hand.
"The other brings a great mutton fist down on the table, and makes all the glasses dance. 'You stay at your moorings till I come back, says he. 'I have got something belonging to you, Jem Green, and he sheered off. The others lay to and passed the grog.
