They passed the gate, paying the fare to a man who stood at the entrance, and were soon on the ferry-boat, bound for Brooklyn.
They had scarcely entered the boat, when Dick, grasping Frank by the arm, pointed to a man just outside of the gentlemen’s cabin.
“Do you see that man, Frank?” he inquired.
“Yes, what of him?”
“He’s the man that cheated the country chap out of his fifty dollars.”

DICK AS A DETECTIVE
Dick’s ready identification of the rogue who had cheated the countryman, surprised Frank.
“What makes you think it is he?” he asked.
“Because I’ve seen him before, and I know he’s up to them kind of tricks. When I heard how he looked, I was sure I knowed him.”
“Our recognizing him won’t be of much use,” said Frank. “It won’t give back the countryman his money.”
