When Jack went below to handle the motive power machinery he heard
Captain Moore thumping on the door of his prison.
"What do you want?" he demanded.
"Come to the door."
Jack did as requested, but did not open the door.
"Now, what is it?" he asked.
"Is that Nestor?"
"It's Jack," was the reply.
"Well, ask Nestor if he'll let both of us go if well give up the whole scheme. Will you?"
"And the papers?"
"I'll help him get the papers."
