"Do you know that the Swallow is in this port?" went on Bart, as he drew closer to the underground stream.
"Yes."
"I wish she was at the bottom of the Pacific, and the Fearlesses with her."
"You should not be so hard on them," replied Lemuel Hankers, hypocritically.

"You're a good one," he remarked in a low tone.
"Hush; I don't want my son to know too much," whispered Lemuel Hankers.
By this time Bart Hankers was standing on the edge of the underground stream.
"Wish I could cross over and see what's on the other shore," he muttered.
