“Ay, ay!” replied the sailors.
Frank had gone ahead into the pilot-house, and rapidly unfastening an electric wire from a binding-post, he hooked it upon the brass handle of a drawer in the wainscoting.
This drawer was locked.
Just as he finished the captain stalked in.
He still clutched his pistol in his hand, and glaring at Frank, he growled in curious tones:
“Why have you brought me in here?”
“To give you our valuables.”
“Well, where are they?”
“In that drawer.”
“Take them out.”
