"I'm afraid something will happen if we don't look out for her."
"Are you going to pump her out to-night?"
"We may begin pretty early in the morning," said Lawry, with a smile.
"Haste and waste, my boy. If you stay on board of her to-night, and get sick, you will not make anything by your labor."
"If the wind goes down, we shall sleep ashore as usual. I don't think it blows quite so hard as it did."
"I don't," added Ethan.
"Boys, you mustn't overdo this thing," added Mr. Sherwood seriously.
His wife whispered to him just then.
"Yes, Bertha," he continued. "I'll tell you what I'm going to do, Lawry. I have four men at work for me. I can spare them one day, and they shall pump out the Woodville for you."
"You needn't object," interposed Mrs. Sherwood.
