Can we all go, Steve, or does someone have to stay behind and look after the boat ?" "That's the crew's duty," said Phil gravely.

"We'll bring you back a sandwich, Han." "Yes, a Han-sandwich," added Perry.
When he had been toppled backward down the after cabin steps Harry Corwin said that they'd been in the habit of leaving the _Follow Me_ unguarded for hours at a time and that so far no one had molested her, and Steve decided that it would be safe enough if they locked the cabins.

So presently the _Adventurer's_ tender was lifted off the chocks and put overboard and after hasty toilets the boys piled into it and the two dingeys, each loaded to the limit, set off for the _Follow Me_.

The latter was a thirty-four foot craft, with a hunting cabin that reached almost to the stern, leaving a cockpit scarcely large enough to swing a cat in; although, as Perry remarked, it wasn't likely anyone would want to swing a cat there.

The cabin was surprisingly roomy and held four berths, while a fifth bunk was placed forward of the tiny galley.
