When he resolutely turned back again to Brewster his face was white, but there was a look of determination around the mouth.
"Monty, I've got to give up this job," he said, huskily.

Brewster looked up quickly.
"What do you mean, Nopper ?" "I've got to leave, that's all," said Harrison, standing stiff and straight and looking over Brewster's head.
"Good Lord, Nopper, I can't have that.

You must not desert the ship.
What's the matter, old chap?
You're as white as a ghost.

What is it ?" Monty was standing now and his hands were on Harrison's shoulders, but before the intensity of his look, his friend's eyes fell helplessly.
"The truth is, Monty, I've taken some of your money and I've lost it.
That's the reason I--I can't stay on.

I have betrayed your confidence." "Tell me about it," and Monty was perhaps more uncomfortable than his friend.
