Neither man answered for a moment, then Forrester, flushing deeply, said, "All we ask of you, Milt, is to give us a trial. Set us ashore if you aren't satisfied with us."
Milton grunted and Diana said, quickly, "What are you people going to do until Mr. Milton gets well?"
All of the crew looked toward the leader's bunk. "Wait till we get the doctor's report," said Milton. "Hard, you were going to show Curly a placer claim around here, weren't you?"
"Yes, if I can be spared for a couple of days. We can undertake that, day after to-morrow."
"You're on!" exclaimed Curly. "Judge, don't forget you and I are due to have a little conversation before we separate."
"I haven't forgotten it," replied Enoch.
"Sometime to-morrow then. To-night I've got to get my revenge on Agnew. He's a wild cat, that's what he is. Must have been born in a gambling den. Sit in with us, Judge or anybody!"
"Not I," said Enoch, shortly.
"Still disapprove, don't you, Judge!" gibed Curly. "How about the rest of you? Diana, can you play poker?"
