"Nary a bit," agreed Ben. "You noticed how quick he was to believe we was smugglers like hisself?"
"Yes. You did that well. First and last you've had to tell a lot of whoppers, Ben."
"Ah, sure, they is not black lies, they is just white lies. There's no one goin' to think the worse of me fer them."
"Not at all. I wonder what's going to happen now."
"There's no sayin'. Dear knows what he wouldn't do if he got an inklin' of our business."
Dare agreed. "We've got to try and get more in his confidence," he said.
"That'll take some doin'."

"Heavens! he's driving her ashore!" exclaimed Dare.
"He's certainly taking her near the land," admitted Ben anxiously.
