This ordinary was held every day, for there were always people passing through Old Harbour Town, and then Old Harbour Town itself was liberal with its own supply of guests, pilots, smack-owners and others who found it cheaper and much more convenient to get a cut at "The Swan," than to sit down to an ill-killed and ill-cooked joint, or a fried chop or steak in their own homes.

Billy glanced at him quickly, a troubled look in his eyes. "N-no," he said, "you bet I don't." "I s'pose this feller an' ol' Spotba'll fight to a finish," said Billy, "but I aim to keep one snake of each kind, so let 'em scrap it out. It won't hurt that old womper to get a good drubbin' anyway." "Why he's callin' us all the mean things he knows, I guess," laughed Billy. "We're in his way, you see." "Let's hustle," urged Billy.
