Thus the Alaska trade which the boys intended the Fair Ellen to wrest from Seattle, thereby transferring some of her prosperity to California’s stricken seaport, remained with the northern metropolis; and they sought other outlet for their energies.,“Oh, Betty,” he begged, “Pease dive me some.”,CHAPTER XII THE CIRCUS,“Oh, my conscience!
