In fact I rather enjoy it than otherwise.

At the same time I do not propose to be arrested if I can help it, and for that reason do not care to visit St.Johns at present.

Even at the railway station we should be very likely to meet and be recognised by some of our recent unpleasant naval acquaintances.
Besides, I am going to see this thing through, and shall stand by you just as long as I can be of any service, for I hope you don't think so meanly of me as to imagine that I would desert in the time of his trouble the fellow who saved my life." "I never for one moment thought meanly of you," declared White, "and I know that in rescuing you from that raft I also gained for myself one of the best friends I ever had.

For that very reason, though, I don't want to abuse your friendship." "All right," laughed Cabot.

"Whenever I feel abused I'll let you know.
And now, it being settled that we are to fight this thing out together, what do you propose to do with the pack we have worked so hard to make ?" "I don't know," replied White, despondently; "but, as it is legally your property, I think you ought to decide what is to be done with it." "Nonsense!" retorted Cabot.
