33282Are you sure of this?
33282Are you sure you saw the name on that pocketbook?
33282Are you sure you were n''t mistaken?
33282Arrest? 33282 Arrested?
33282Buffalo? 33282 But had n''t you better go home?"
33282But how can I get back to this boat?
33282But how can you, if you''re sick?
33282But what made the noise?
33282But will your boat get to Buffalo ahead of the freight steamer?
33282By the way, who is your pilot?
33282Ca n''t you take some medicine?
33282Can you hold him?
33282Can you pull yourself up by the rope?
33282Can you see him?
33282Come with you? 33282 Could you spare time to go up and tell my wife?"
33282Did Mr. Morton have a share in the load of lumber on the barge from which he was drowned?
33282Did he act confused, so far as you know?
33282Did n''t he have any life insurance, or anything like that?
33282Did you ask him any more about the pocketbook?
33282Did you check up these boxes?
33282Did you ever see that box before?
33282Did you ever see your nephew have it?
33282Did you get the ship all unloaded?
33282Did you get your money out of it?
33282Did you know my father?
33282Did you make up some for him?
33282Did you say some of your men were injured?
33282Do you dare to accuse my nephew?
33282Do you know which his cabin is?
33282Do you mean that you will leave the ship without a pilot?
33282Do you mean to say that my nephew is guilty?
33282Do you mean to tell me I made a mistake?
33282Do you mind showing me the pocketbook?
33282Do you recall that pocketbook, with Mr. Morton''s name on it in gold letters?
33282Do you think I''ll ever be able to do it?
33282Do you think he heard anything?
33282Do you think he will-- die?
33282Do you think he''ll see you, Uncle Joe?
33282Do you think it fell, or did some one shove it?
33282Do you think the person wanted to hurt me?
33282Do you want to take the wheel now?
33282Does n''t he know enough to keep away, and on his own course?
33282Does that mean I can go?
33282Going for your clothes? 33282 Had n''t you better get your breakfast?"
33282Has Captain Marshall given him the place?
33282Has he been arrested?
33282Have they got him? 33282 He does, eh?"
33282He does, eh?
33282He said it had his father''s name on? 33282 How are you feeling this morning?"
33282How are you feeling to- day?
33282How did it happen, Nat?
33282How did the mate get it? 33282 How did we escape it?"
33282How did you guess?
33282How do you know I do smoke''em?
33282How do you like it?
33282How do you mean?
33282How do you plead to that?
33282How in the world did it happen?
33282How much will you get?
33282How old are you-- er-- Nat Morton? 33282 How so, captain?"
33282How''s that?
33282How''s that?
33282How?
33282I ca n''t, eh? 33282 I do n''t suppose you feel much like taking a lesson in navigation?"
33282I suppose Nat may go back to the purser''s office?
33282I suppose you could n''t get any work?
33282I wonder if I''ll ever get a chance to learn to be a pilot?
33282I wonder if he heard of our plan, and made the change of boats to escape us?
33282I wonder if he''ll put up a fight?
33282I wonder what Mr. Clayton can tell me?
33282I wonder what ails him?
33282I wonder what he''ll do to me?
33282I wonder what it can be? 33282 I wonder where Mr. Weatherby is?"
33282I wonder where we''ll pass her?
33282Is Joseph Bumstead here?
33282Is any one here?
33282Is he going to take a voyage with you?
33282Is he-- is he all right?
33282Is that all you''ve got to do?
33282Is that so? 33282 Is that so?"
33282Is that the name of the ship we are going on?
33282Is that your box of cigarettes?
33282Is the Morton case ready?
33282Is the passenger steamer at Detroit?
33282Is this true?
33282Look here,went on the captain, striding up to Sam,"did n''t you know it was against the rules to smoke up here?
33282May I speak to you a few moments?
33282Mr. Bumstead says the boxes are not here, and Nat says they came aboard, eh? 33282 Mr. Bumstead, will you, as a favor to me, allow your nephew to help Mr. Dunn for the remainder of the voyage?"
33282My own crew?
33282My regular job? 33282 Now will you show me where Mr. Bumstead''s cabin is?"
33282Oh, I did, eh? 33282 Oh, ca n''t somebody else go?
33282Oh, he checked''em off, did he?
33282Oh, so you''re his nephew, eh?
33282Oh, you did, eh?
33282Pocketbook? 33282 Rescue a man?
33282Set him up in business? 33282 Shall I ask the captain to anchor?"
33282Shall we go down where the_ Jessie Drew_ is tied up, and see if the mate is aboard before we get an officer, or stop at the police station first?
33282So it''s yours, then?
33282Some crime been committed?
33282Steal your boat? 33282 Sure this is right?"
33282That? 33282 The harbor master?"
33282The rubber?
33282Then Sam is going to have his place?
33282Then what is the trouble, if you have plenty of money?
33282Then what''s it doing in your pocket?
33282Then you admit that you kept the fifteen hundred dollars you were to deliver to Mr. Morton''s son?
33282Then you believe him instead of me?
33282Throw what overboard?
33282Too late?
33282Tramps? 33282 Uncle Joe, what did that officer want?"
33282Want it? 33282 Was his father a lake sailor?"
33282Was it in connection with that charge you made against Nat before the pilot board?
33282Was n''t it_ after_ that?
33282Was n''t it_ after_ you sent Nat to that part of the deck that you saw Sam smoking?
33282Well, Jenkins,said the harbor master,"did you bring the mate back with you?
33282Well, Nat, are you all ready?
33282Well, Nat, how did you make out?
33282Well, Nat, you''re home early, are n''t you?
33282Well, where are those ten missing ones then?
33282Well,said Mr. Weatherby to Nat one day,"since you have come into your inheritance, I suppose you''ll give up learning to be a pilot?"
33282Well?
33282Well?
33282What about Mr. Morton''s share?
33282What are you doing here, Nat?
33282What are you doing here?
33282What are you doing?
33282What do I care?
33282What do you say, Nat?
33282What do you suppose they''ll do to me?
33282What do you think then?
33282What does he say? 33282 What does your father do?"
33282What doing?
33282What for?
33282What for?
33282What have I to do with the harbor master? 33282 What have I to say?
33282What have you to say now?
33282What is it?
33282What is it?
33282What is this, Nat?
33282What is your name?
33282What kept you, then?
33282What kind?
33282What lumber deal? 33282 What sort of a looking man was this Bumstead?"
33282What was done with the money?
33282What will you do?
33282What''s that?
33282What''s that?
33282What''s the matter with you fellows, anyhow? 33282 What''s the matter, then?
33282What''s the matter?
33282What''s the matter?
33282What''s the matter?
33282What''s the row?
33282What''s the trouble? 33282 What''s this I hear?"
33282What''s your business, young man? 33282 What?"
33282Where are you, Nat?
33282Where are you?
33282Where did you expect to meet him?
33282Where do you live?
33282Where is the person who made the charge-- Bumstead the mate?
33282Where is the ship going to?
33282Where''s the police station?
33282Who are you?
33282Who are you?
33282Who is he? 33282 Who is he?"
33282Who is telling the truth here?
33282Who says so?
33282Who was the second mate, who agreed to take Mr. Morton''s share to his heirs?
33282Who''s going to commit suicide?
33282Who''s there?
33282Why do n''t you give it to them? 33282 Why does n''t Mr. Weatherby come?"
33282Why does n''t some one there help him?
33282Why not? 33282 Why not?"
33282Why not?
33282Why not?
33282Why, do you know him?
33282Would I have a chance to learn to be a pilot?
33282Would you say they were large enough to topple over that bale?
33282You are n''t losing your nerve, are you?
33282You remember I told you I was going to write to a man who was on the lumber barge with your father?
33282You will, eh?
33282You will, eh?
33282You would, eh? 33282 You would, eh?"
33282Are you always going to dispute with me?
33282Are you joking?"
33282Are you sure I''m to have his job?"
33282As Nat was about to leave, the freight agent called to him:"Where you going, Nat?"
33282Bumstead?"
33282Bumstead?"
33282But I wonder if George Clayton will be here?"
33282But is n''t that some one calling you?"
33282But is this Nat Morton, whom you were telling me about?"
33282But what of it?
33282By the way, have you seen or heard anything more about that pocketbook which the mate had?"
33282CHAPTER IV GETTING A JOB"Now, why in the world did n''t he tell me what he wanted of me, instead of keeping me guessing?"
33282Ca n''t you keep on your own side of the channel?
33282Can I get you anything?
33282Can you tell me where I shall find him?"
33282Could he steer the big passenger steamer over the same course after dark, and with a storm coming up?
33282Could her headway be checked?
33282Did he give up the money?"
33282Did n''t he hit you?"
33282Did n''t you get his share when he died?"
33282Did n''t you hear the reverse signal?"
33282Did n''t you know that?
33282Did n''t you tell him?"
33282Did n''t your uncle tell you about it?"
33282Do n''t you feel well?"
33282Do n''t you know it''s against the rules?
33282Do you belong aboard this barge?"
33282Do you think you can?"
33282Do you think you will accept the offer?"
33282Do you wish to notify any friends?"
33282Do you work around here?"
33282Does he recall anything out of the ordinary concerning my father?"
33282Does your nephew smoke?"
33282Dunn?"
33282Had the lookout cried his warning quickly enough?
33282Has Bumstead got it?"
33282Have n''t you, Sam?"
33282Have one yourself?"
33282He closed the door, and coming over to where Nat stood at the wheel said:"How would you like to come with me on a big passenger steamer?"
33282How about you?"
33282How are you?"
33282How are you?"
33282How could he?
33282How dare you smoke on this deck?
33282How did he escape being sent to jail on your charge?"
33282How do you get along?"
33282How is that?"
33282I must do something, or----""What was that you said?"
33282I suppose you''ll be glad of it?"
33282I wonder if I had n''t better speak to Mr. Weatherby, and ask his advice?
33282I wonder if he knew my father?
33282I wonder if he knows I am after him?"
33282I wonder what the punishment is for piloting a boat without a license?"
33282I wonder what''s the matter with the water?"
33282If he did, where are they?
33282Is he going with you?"
33282Is he headed for Buffalo?"
33282Is the investigation all over, captain?"
33282Is this a joke?"
33282It seemed as if some one pushed it, but who could it be?
33282Morton?"
33282My name is Weatherby----""What, John Weatherby, the pilot of the_ Jessie Drew_?"
33282Nat started down the gangplank, but, when he was half way down, he met a man in uniform, who asked him:"Is this the_ Mermaid_?"
33282Now, are you going to show me where I can find Mr. Bumstead?
33282Say, you do n''t belong around here, do you?"
33282Shall I bring you back some lunch?"
33282Shall I tell Captain Marshall you''ll take the place?"
33282So you work on the pier, eh?"
33282Some one rob you?"
33282Supposing we go to the police station and draw up the complaint?"
33282Then why did n''t you prove it?"
33282This is your work, eh?"
33282Understand?"
33282We''ll ask him----?"
33282Weatherby?"
33282Weatherby?"
33282Well, what kind of a job would you like-- pilot or captain?"
33282Were you smoking down there?"
33282What are you doing in my boat?"
33282What do you mean by that?"
33282What do you mean?"
33282What do you say, captain?"
33282What does he say?"
33282What does it matter?
33282What for?
33282What for?"
33282What is it?"
33282What kind?"
33282What object would Sam have in putting them into your pocket?
33282What object would any one have in trying to hurt me?"
33282What object would he have in doing that?"
33282What of it?
33282What pocketbook?"
33282What wallet?"
33282What you going to do?"
33282What''s it all about?
33282What''s the matter?
33282What''s wanted?"
33282When can you come?"
33282Where are you?"
33282Where did you get it?"
33282Where do you live?"
33282Where''s your badge?"
33282Who asked anything about tramps?"
33282Who made it?"
33282Who told you about it?"
33282Whose is it?"
33282Why did n''t he get some one who knew how to check a cargo?"
33282Why did n''t you say so at first?"
33282Why did you want to end your life?"
33282Why do n''t you ask me what the wages are, and how long you''ll have to work?"
33282Why should he be arrested?"
33282Why, you''re the boy who got the rowboat out of the way of the vessel I was bringing in the other day, are n''t you?"
33282Why?"
33282Why?"
33282Will you not, Sam?"
33282Would n''t you like a place on her better than your regular job?"
33282Would the ship be turned in time?
33282You can----""Then what''s this?"
33282called Mr. Clayton, when they were within hailing distance,"how goes it?"
