Wilson leaned against the bench and waited. He knew that Billy had brought him into the shed to speak of other things than decoys. "We are in chase of a ship, my lord," cried Captain Acton, "which we hope to capture." CHAPTER XXIII MR. HINTER PROVES A PUZZLE Billy nodded. "An' is the schooner still anchored off here?" he asked. "I might take a fish-boat an' row out to her, if she is.".
