There wasn't a soul in the ward but would have followed Dan's lead to the end of the world and jumped off; and before I could tell their names there were three men on the thwarts, six oars in the air, Dan stood in the bows, a word from him, and they shot away.
In a very short space of time the six-oar craft was pulling with all the muscle of her British tars for the scene of peril, and not more than two cables' length astern of the second cutter of the Guardian-Mother. Captain Ringgold observed the boats with the most intense interest as they approached the unfortunate men in the water.
"We can get four small boats for our money can't we?" asked one of the boys. "Frank thought we had better get different sized boats," replied Tony. "For different kinds of service," added Joseph, demurely. "Say, one eight-oar boat, one six-oar, and two four-oar," said Tony. "That would be first rate! Then we could take in twenty-two fellows."
"Let us have the other boat." "Hurrah! so I say." "I suppose we could buy two six-oar boats for our money," added Tony. "And have four in the fleet?" "Perhaps three four-oar boats." "Five boats in the fleet! That would be a glorious squadron!"
