"This is a gentleman's outfit," declared another voice, perhaps not intended to reach Cartwright's ears.

But he heard the words and his mounting rage caused him to take a step nearer to Greg, at the same time clenching his fists.
Greg, though he realized what was taking place, did not bother to turn, but coolly raised his cup to his lips.
"Sit down," called another voice.

"You're rocking the boat." But Cartwright took a second step.

It is impossible to say what would have happened, but Dick Prescott, half turning in his seat, caught the angry captain's nearer wrist in a grip of steel and fairly swang Cartwright into a vacant seat at his left.

Greg was sitting at his right.
"Don't be foolish, Cartwright, and don't let the day's heat go to your head," Prescott advised.
