"Oh, to be sure," said Graham, immediately dismissing his suspicions. "You couldn't leave your companion, could you, and come into my stateroom?"
"I don't think I could."
"Oh, very well. It's of no consequence. Keep a good lookout for your roommate."
Graham turned away, and resumed his walk. Soon Tom saw him in company with the dark young man, to whom reference has already been made.
"Well," said the latter, "how did you make out with the boy?"
"He's offish. I don't know as he suspects me. I wanted to get him into my stateroom, but he has already taken up with another man—that stout party over there."
"So I suspected. I can tell you something about that man."
"What?"
"He carries six hundred dollars about him."
"You don't say so! How did you find out?"
