It was Pilot Stiansen.,"If it's the owner's wish that this vessel shall be carried to another port, there she shall go; and so you have it. Now, go forward!" said Mr Lawrence, and he moved as though about to turn on his heel.,"And who are these two men? What have they done?","I don't feel that way at all—" began Judith, but their murmured comments halted at Bruce's next words.，"The law will do that."，Finally, Ebenezer Wopp’s musings, which had been gathering force as he worked, burst into speech.
