"My launch is lying at the pier, and the Royal is at anchor just over there." "And is our big yacht out there?" asked the little boy. "Surest thing," answered the yachtsman. "But how do I know know you are not a kidnapper?" Kitty stammered suddenly. Every one laughed, but Kitty's distress was genuine. "He is not a kidnapper, Kitty. He is my Ricky," said Royal.

But now, in the cabin of that yacht, dressed as he was in black clothes like anybody else and in good-fitting shoes, you had to take a second look at him to get his measure. The yachtsman thought that he and the skipper were of about the same size, and barring that the skipper's shoulders were a shade wider there wasn't so much difference to look at. But there was a difference, just the same.
Furthermore, she's got a great big hole in her bottom, where she was stove in by running afoul of Mount Arrus-root, I believe it was called when Captain Noah went cruising with that menagerie of his."

"I am a soldier by profession," answered Lance, "but for all that I am not exactly an unmitigated land-lubber; on the contrary I am quite an enthusiastic yachtsman, and I flatter myself that I know a good model when I see one." "And yet you don't take much account of the brig, stranger?"
