"I know."
"Where are we?"
"We're in the brig again."
"In the brig? Why, we are in Paris. Have you forgotten? I guess your shaking up must have resulted in a loss of memory."
"I have forgotten nothing. I'll never forget the wallop I got. Say, Dan, do you know what they hit me with?"
"No, that is what I have been trying to decide in my own case."
For a few minutes there was silence.
"This is a nice mess—a fine mix-up!"
"Yes," agreed Dan Davis. "I fear we have gotten ourselves into a lot of trouble. We have assaulted the Paris police. I wonder what the captain of the 'Long Island' will say when he hears of it?"
"If it's left for us to tell him it will be a long, long time before he hears anything about it."
