"My love," said Captain Acton, "will you tell me how it happened that you should have allowed yourself to be lured on board the Minorca?" "I guess that's me," said Billy, jumping to his feet and starting for the platform. Wilson laughed. "Not Cobin. He's quite satisfied with his little farm, I guess. No, Hinter didn't get much satisfaction from either of us." "Deep?".
