“Say,” inquired Arnold belligerently, “who’s running this thing?”
“You are. How long have you had her?”

“Is that so? I’ll bet I can run a launch as well as you can, you——”
“Careful!” warned Toby.
“You fresh kid!”
“All right. Look out for the coal wharf. Mr. Rollinson would be awfully mad if you carried away the end of it! Just slow her up and I’ll jump for it.”
