"What is your name?"
Phil gave it.
"How did you happen to get in the river?"
"I told you I fell in, or something of the sort, from the
'Fat Marie.'"
"Never heard of her."
"I think she was called the 'Mary Jane.'"
"Oh, that's that circus boat—the Sparling Circus?"
"Yes, sir."
"Do you belong to the circus?"
"Yes. I am a bareback rider and a trapeze performer."
