"Prescott, in especial, is showing up magnificently," replied Wadleigh. "He and Darrin are certainly wonders at their end of the line."

"How are you feeling, Dick?" asked Dave.

"I don't believe I've ever been in such fine condition before," replied Dave.
"That's mighty good, for I have an idea that the captain means to use us all he can tomorrow."
"Oh, Tottenville is as good as beaten, then," laughed Dave, with all the Gridley confidence.
