“Are you going to blow upon us, Burch?” demanded Stockwell, warmly.
“Am I? Did you ever know me to do such a thing?” added Burchmore, earnestly.
“No! no!” replied the whole party.
“I don’t think it was just the thing to cheat some of us as you did; but I believe we are about even on that now.”
“Of course we all want to get back to the ship as soon as possible,” added Sanford, rubbing his chin, significantly.
“Certainly. She has gone to Gottenburg, and all we have to do is to follow her,” said Churchill.
“But if you want to go there by the way of the Cape of Good Hope, Sanford, it will be better to have the matter understood so in the beginning,” added Burchmore. “I, for one, don’t like to be bamboozled.”
“I won’t try it on again,” said Sanford.
“All right, then; if you do, you may fetch up at Cape Horn.”
“Where shall we go now?” asked Sanford.
