"That will give us all a chance to go out for a row."
"For what?" questioned Sam.
"For the exercise, red-head. We jackies never have anything to do, you know, so they have to send us out for a row, now and then."
"We don't have to row in a common whaleboat or a cutter. We've got something better in which to row," retorted Hickey.
"Got something better?"
"Yes."
"Maybe you're going to run the captain's motor boat."
"No; not yet. Maybe we'll be doing that later. Just now we're going to content ourselves with the gig."
"The gig!"
"Sure thing."
