He was answered almost at once by more yells. "Oh, Master! Come quickly!" cried the giant. "There are many men here. There are stowaways aboard!" For a moment, after hearing Koku's reply, neither Tom nor his friends spoke. Then Ned, in a dazed sort of way, repeated: "Stowaways!" "Bless my " began Mr. Damon, but that was as far as he got.
He angrily required me to search the ship for stowaways. Bosh! The second mate and steward have repeatedly overhauled the lazarette: there's nobody there." "And if not there, then nowhere else," said I. "Perhaps he's got the forepeak in his head." "I'll not have a hatch lifted," he exclaimed, warmly, "nor will I allow the crew to be troubled. There's been no theft. Put it that the stone is stolen.
"Oh, I do hope, Uncle, you'll forgive me, but Frank and little Pansy and Aralia did want to come with us so much, that that !" "That you took them as stowaways, eh?" "I'm afraid that's it, sir." The captain pretended to be awfully angry, and said he would put about and land the lot at Aberdeen. "In the meantime, go below, children, and get yourselves washed; the steward will see to you. Steward!"
Two other stowaways had already been found and sent ashore; but by this time darkness had fallen, they were out in the middle of the estuary, and the last steamer had left them till the morning. "Take him to the forecastle and give him a meal," said the mate, "and see and pack him off the first thing to-morrow."
"They went on board of your boat," put in Sam. "You must be mistaken." Captain Langless turned to his mate. "Find any stowaways on board?" "Nary a one," was the mate's answer. "And just came up from the hold, too." This talk perplexed Tom and Sam not a little. Was it possible Luke Peterson had made some mistake?
The number of volunteers asked for was a thousand, but at least two thousand applied for permission to go with the expedition, and ultimately some fourteen or fifteen hundred did actually go, one hundred stowaways being included in the number.
"Even with stowaways," he ventured, but not fatuously. "No one is likely to forget how our only stowaway came by his wounds," she said simply. "Despite your modesty, I am quite certain who it was that carried the Chief Engineer on deck, Mr. Percival. While his clothes were burning, too." Percival turned his face away and many seconds passed before he spoke.

When hold open, he try get out, but can't; box fall on um foot, and Snowball holler wid pain; steward tink um de Debbel and knock down tings. Snowball done no harm; um bery bad wid um leg!" "Sure, an' it's an impedent schoundrel he is, the spalpeen!" said the mate. "Of all the cheeky stowaways I ever came across, he bates the lot entirely. Shall I rouse him up with a rope's end, cap'en?"
You and your other friends, who are also made prisoners, will be allowed to be together, and then you can talk to your hearts' content." The other man, who had remained with the evident ringleader of the stowaways, asked a question, in French, and he used the name La Foy. "Ah!" thought Tom. "This is the leader of the gang that attacked Koku in the shop that night.
