"The two worst boys in Scotia, Mrs. Wilson." "No, but there's somethin' I ought'a tell you, I guess," he answered. "I've jest come from old Swanson's boardin' house, at the foot. Mr. Maddoc an' the specialist doctor are goin' to leave there an' stay at teacher's, as you likely know?" In the second dog-watch the crew were mustered aft and divided into watches.
