"All prisoners," answered Sam.
"Prisoners!" ejaculated Dan Baxter.
"Yes, Dan, they are prisoners, down in the engine room," answered
Dick. "We've given them the same dose they gave us."
"Then you are in possession once more?"
"Yes—as far as it goes. And I want to talk to you as soon as we've disposed of these sailors," added Dick.
"Shall I help you carry them out?"
"Do you want to?"
"If you wish it."
"Mind you, I don't want any trick played, Dan."
"I won't play any trick, Dick—I give you my word."
