Capt. Arrested for stealing! Who accuses the nephew of Capt. Nat Skillings of stealing?
Hanscomb. Capt. Nat Skillings, of Dismaltown, Nova Scotia?
Capt. Just so.
Hanscomb. I used to know a Capt. Skillings, of Dismaltown, but he was not a sea captain.
Capt. Well, I guess it’s the same man. I sha’n’t be one after to-day.
Hanscomb. Captain, don’t you remember your old friend, Sol Hanscomb?
Capt. To be sure I do.
Hanscomb. Well, I’m his son.
Capt. Be you, though? Why, how you have grown! But what have you been doing to my nephew?
