Billy asked.,"Then," said Frank, moistening his dry lips, "you have the will, Mr. Maddoc?","Hould on now!" Harry swayed up from the log, the grin gone from his face. "Ut's little did I think that Billy Wilson would be misunderstandin' me," he said, reproachfully. "Not wan article that the box contained has been teched by me. A small bit av the whisky have I took, because it was no more than sufficient reward fer me findin' the stuff, but the box is safe and safe ut wull be returned to Spencer whin the proper time comes.","But, darn it all, Bill," Maurice objected, "there won't be no ghost to lead the way to the stuff in the daytime."，"Oh, you must not think of such things, madam. How fearful to be locked up in your bedroom, though it should be half as big as this ship, when the house is on fire! Would not you enjoy a short voyage? The trip to the West Indies is short. It is a tropical journey, and all the romance of the sea is in it."，"You bet you did!" cried the boys, together.，"Gosh! ain't I been trying," groaned Maurice. "My teeth won't keep still a'tall.
