A few men were to be seen racing aft, and in a minute or two a squab boat descended from a pair of davits as stout as catheads[Pg 353] with four men in her, two to row, one to bale, and one to steer. "Go outside," he whispered. "Please do; I kin stand anythin', but I don't want you to see it." "Then that's all there is to it; you keep Lost Man, that's what you do.".
