"Pooh! a deckhand!" and the rich boy's nose went up into the air in disdain. He would give Randy no credit for helping to save his life.
"Clear the deck, please!" called out Captain Hadley, to the crowd that was pressing in on all sides. "The excitement is over. The boy is safe."
"I want you to put me ashore," said Bob Bangs.
"We'll make a landing a mile below here," said the Captain.
"I don't want to go to the next landing."
"Sorry, but we can't turn back," answered Captain Hadley.
"What about my boat?"
"We'll take it in tow."
This was done, and in a few minutes the Helen Shalley had resumed her journey. Bob Bangs was led to one of the staterooms and offered a dry suit of clothes, which he put on.
"I'll take your name and address," said Captain Hadley.
