Anyway, he didn't say anything about a life-boat, that's sure.
But maybe he forgot to.
Just the same I wondered if maybe he had any other reason for being in such a hurry and so excited, kind of.

Then I remembered how he said he would tell me all about it some day.

Anyway, I said, he's had a lot of adventures, that's sure.

You bet I'd like to have a lot of adventures like that..
