"Who are you, anyhow?" asked Jonas, his curiosity getting the better of any politeness he might have used.
"I am Captain Dare of the Una."
"You are the fellow that carried off two of our boys," exclaimed Jonas, with a sudden increase of interest.
"They took passage with me," said the captain with dignity. "Is the head-master over yonder?"
"Mr. Bernard? Yes, asleep still."
"I want to see him."
"About the boys?"
"Yes."
"All right. How glad he'll be!"
"Go call him then, but don't let any one else know,--that's a good fellow."
