“All of them,” returned Jo, emphatically.
“Well, you will have to get some out of the storeroom,” said the captain, who had been attracted by the discussion. “I think it is likely someone has taken them out and forgotten them.”
“Now, then,” cried Jo, when the other rowlocks had been put in. “Where’s Berwick? Give him a hail, will you?”

“Hallo,” called Tom. “What have you got there?”
“What do you think of that!” demanded Berwick as he came toward the others.
“What is it?” asked the professor.

“What was it doing there?” asked the professor.
