Cates—[Stupidly.] S’long as he don’t git no share o’ the gold——

Horne—[Contemptuously.] Share, ye dumbhead! I’d see him in hell first—and send him there myself. [Drew comes out of the house carrying his bag which he hands to Cates. Sue follows him.]

Drew—Look lively now! Let’s hustle aboard and get her under way.

Horne—Aye—aye, sir. [He and Cates clamber hurriedly down the ladder.]

Sue—[Throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him.] Good-bye, Danny. It’s so fine of you to do this for us! I’ll never forget——

Drew—[Tenderly.] Ssssh! It’s nothing, Sue.

Sue—[Tearfully.] Oh, Danny, I hope I’m doing right! I’ll miss you so dreadfully! But you’ll come back just as soon as you can—

Drew—Of course!

Sue—Danny! Danny! I love you so!

Drew—And I guess you know I love you, don’t you? [Kisses her.] And we’ll be married when I come back this time sure?
