"What makes you think I threw it overboard?"
"Because I found that the bull's eye in my state-room had been opened."
"Did you lose all the money in your trunk?"
"No; you know I didn't."
"You ought to be thankful that I did not take what did not belong to me. I should have done so if I had suspected to what use that money was to be applied."
"No cant to me!"
"Perhaps you will be willing to own that you stole the money I took from your trunk out of mine."
"I am; I do own it; and in due time it will buy fifteen or twenty niggers, and pay me five hundred per cent."
"Never, if I can help it!"
"You can't help it. I don't believe you were fool enough to throw the money overboard; and you will be glad to tell me where it is within twenty-four hours."
