"That's Elgin Scraff and Tom Holt comin' to look fer us," cried Maurice. In those times sailors lacked the addition of the harness cask and bread barge, to the bitter wooden beef and the coarse worm-eaten ship's biscuit which science and experience have contributed to the scurvy-making fare which seamen are obliged to eat. Yet a sort of provision was made to supplement the brine-hardened meat and the worms of the sailor's bread. The captain of a man-of-war, for instance, at sea, would breakfast on coffee, toast, potted beef and tongue, sliced à la Vauxhall. Whole legs of mutton were tinned. "Then," said Billy sorrowfully, turning toward the door, "I guess there's only one thing fer me to do.".

However, the night-roamers of the forest did not walk into them. Instead they came very close to the boys and halted. The man who carried the lantern set it down on the ground and spoke in gruff tobes to his companion, a short, heavy-set man with a fringe of black beard on his face. "To prospect; to look for a new field. I figured that the Pennsylvania vein would come out about here and extend northward." "Elgin Scraff," spoke up Billy, promptly. "I 'low you're tryin' to coax him away fishin' er somethin'.".
