"He feels sick over this," laughed the merchant.
"Well, he can't sue the steamboat company for that sickness," laughed our hero in return.
CHAPTER XXI
RANDY VISITS HIS HOME
As soon as he returned to the steamboat, Randy acquainted Captain Hadley with all he had seen and heard and gave the captain the card of the merchant.
"You have done well, Randy," said the master of the steamboat. "I fancy this will cook Mr. Amos Bangs's goose."
At Nyack, Mr. Shalley came on board and heard what our hero had to say.
"I am glad you have a witness," said he. "I have heard of Mr. Budmister before."
"A good business man," said Captain Hadley. "He will make a good witness—if the case comes to a trial."
