Captain Morris chafed in silence for some time. Finally he said:
“See here, boy.”
“Well, Captain Morris?”
“Who’s on deck with you?”
“A man who won’t let you get loose. So don’t try any tricks.”
“Do you want to be rich?”
“Not with your money.”
“Listen. Release us and I’ll give you a thousand dollars.”
Will laughed.
“You haven’t got it to give me.”
