"It isn't locked. Just press the lock to the left."
"You mighty ca'less with yo' possessions," said Doc with a chuckle.
"What sort of a man is Mr. Peth?"
"Catch me with my stuff sailin' around loose. Some o' these hyar native trash go'n walk off wid you, bag an' baggage, if you don' watch out, man."
"Why do you suppose Mr. Peth wanted to move out of here?"
"Oh, he's just kind o' techy."
"How do you mean?"
"Kind o' uppish. He don' git along wid nobody, nohow, Mr. Peth don't."
"He's been with Captain Jarrow a long time, hasn't he?"
