D'ye know I'm second mate?[Pg 275] Answer me, or I'll flay ye before sundown," said Pledge, turning scarlet."I should think I do, sir," answered Paul, grinning.

The remark appeared to impress Captain Acton, who fastened his eyes upon the speaker.,The dark moonlit hours thus passed, and the Aurora followed the stranger, but at a distance that was out of cannon reach.,He ran his eyes proudly over the spars of his vessel and along the length of her.,"I am indeed, and have no words in which to convey my thanks to you for your kindness.","Then, here's fer it, but I must say I'll be glad when the job's done," shivered Maurice, following his chum into the blackness of the root-house.,"Croaker, come down here, I want'a ask you somethin'."
