It’s up to you to find out.”,CHAPTER XII.,“Take your clothes off and dry them then,” said Eric.，"Thomas has sure fattened up," grinned Jim. "I guess it would puzzle old Johnston to know our horse now, eh, Bill?"，The bewildered man stared at her as though he was himself bereft of reason. Amazement, confusion, love, pity, horror, doubt were amongst the expressions which ran through his countenance like shadow chasing shadow.，"Yes, sir, he is on board the Victory. She is the one that is ahead of and to windward of the ship that has stun-sails set."Viewing the upturned swill-pail, she suddenly became cynical.

Johnny Blossom took careful aim and sent the snowball flying toward the flagstaff at his own home.,"I can't tell, nor can anybody else.
