"'Cause we want Teacher Stanhope to have what belongs to him," said Billy warmly. "Miss Acton and I agreed to elope. We found our opportunity in this vessel. This could only be done by contriving what the French call a ruse. It was to be assumed that her father had fallen ill in this ship whilst inspecting her early this morning, and the stratagem was to be carried out by his dictating a letter to me begging his daughter to come at once to the vessel.

As he climbed the rail fence his eyes swept the Settlement below, resting at length on the jail-like wall in the edge of the Scroggie timber, above which the tall derrick protruded like a white, scarred face. "Humph!" he mused, "Scroggie and Hinter must either have struck water, or give up. Their rig's quiet after chuggin' away day and night for weeks." The boys gazed at each other and Maurice's chuckle echoed Billy's, although it was raspy and hoarse. "Hello, you!" he shouted. "You'll have to back up an' take the run to your left." Anson, still sniffling, finished his undressing. Billy nursed his knee in his hands and watched him.
