THE CAPTIVE ON THE YACHT.

“This feller is heavy,” said the one who had stumbled. “An’ he’s ther blamedest fighter I ever saw. If I hadn’t cracked him on the head with a stun he’d done you up.”

“I slipped. That was the way he got the best of me.”

“Bah! He was more than a match for you.”

“He is a boy.”

“He’s wuss’n any man I ever tackled. He fit like a tiger.”
