“You don’t mean to say you brought all that stuff in those two great baskets for yourself and no one else?”
“Why not?”
“How long do you think this cruise will last?”
“Can’t tell about that.”
“You’ll divvy, or we’ll put you in irons and cast you into the hold!” declared Rattleton. “I’m owner and captain of this vessel, and what I say goes. See?”
To this Bruce simply grunted.
