"You don't look starved, Captain Hannock," said Captain Flagg coldly.
"I never show it in my face," was the smooth reply. "But all the same, I am mighty hungry."
"You shall have breakfast very soon." And then as Mr. Henshaw gave him a peculiar look, the captain continued:
"Won't you step into the cabin?"
"Thanks: I will. Where are you bound?"
"For Boston."
"That will just suit me. I can't pay for the passage though. I haven't any money."
"Was your vessel insured?"
"Only about half value."
The two captains and Mr. Henshaw disappeared into the cabin. We waited impatiently.
