"Go 'way! Don't bother me. I'm having my beauty sleep."
Steve sprang up, shaking the other boy roughly.
"It's daylight. Come on; we've got to make a break to get out of here now, if we do it at all. I just heard some one tramping along the deck overhead."
Bob sat up rubbing his eyes sleepily. He would much have preferred to sleep longer, but he knew full well that, if he tried it, Steve Rush would fall upon him and make life miserable for him for the next few minutes. So Jarvis got up, grumbling.
"Where does that door lead to?" he demanded, pointing to a door that Steve had not yet seen.
A faint light in the hold made it possible to see a short distance away. Steve glanced at the door, then sprang toward it.
"Hurrah, it is unlocked!"
"And don't forget that I found it. I can see like an owl, even if I am sick——"
Steve had jerked the door open, revealing a dark chamber. It proved to be the chain and anchor room where odds and ends of the ship were stored.
