Of course, I don't know how it's going to work out, seeing as one of 'em is Spanish, one of 'em Portugee and the other a full-blooded Indian,--but they're all healthy." "It's very noble of you, Andrew," said the Captain, laying his hand on the First Officer's shoulder.
"Absolutely not," snapped Mr.Mott.

"It's nothing but plain, rotten selfishness on my part,--and I don't give a damn who knows it.".
