“I wonder who those two chaps are in the bow. Can it be Bogud and the mate?”
“I wonder who that old boy in a pea-jacket can be? It surely can’t be Mr. Simmons?”
“It’s Captain Corbet.”
“Nonsense! Captain Corbet is steering.”
“No, that’s the mate.”
“It isn’t, either. Don’t you see the mate on the bow?”
“That the mate! That’s Mr. Long.”
“Bah! Mr. Long don’t generally go in his shirtsleeves.”
“Why shouldn’t he? I s’pose he is helping the others. He’d just as soon take off his coat as not, if he had anything to do.”
