"Well, we can take some money out of the captain's pocket, at any rate. We'll make a fortune out of your boat, Lawry, if we get her up."
"I shall get her up by tomorrow night."
"I'll help you, Lawry."
"We don't need any help at present. I must go now, for Ethan is waiting for me."
"Who's Ethan?"
"Ethan French; he is the engineer of the steamer," answered the young pilot, moving toward the door.
"Hold on a minute, Lawry, and I'll be ready to go with you. I can show you how to do the business."
"I know now."
"You're smart, Lawry; but you're not so old as I am."
"I'm old enough to do this job."
