Dave Darrin at Vera Cruz

CHAPTER I
12/20

It continued to ring until Darrin rose, took down the receiver, and expressed, to the clerk, on duty below, his thanks for having been called.
"Turn out, Danny Grin!" Darry shouted from the bathroom.

"Come, now, sir! Show a foot! Show a foot, sir!" Drowsily, Dalzell thrust one bare foot out from under the sheet.
"Are you awake in sea-going order, sir ?" Dave asked, jovially.
"Aye, aye, sir." "Then remain awake, Mr.Dalzell, until I have been through the motions of a cold bath." With that Darrin shut the door.

From the bathroom came the sounds of a shower, followed by much splashing.
"Turn out the port watch, Mr.Dalzell," came, presently, through the closed bathroom door.

"The bathroom watch is yours.

Hose down, sir." With that Dave stepped into his own room to dress.
