After breakfast Ralph and Jacques were rowed ashore.
"You will want some money to pay for your passage, young gentleman." Captain Wilson said to Ralph before leaving the ship.

"I will authorize you to tell an agent that I will be security for the payment of your passage-money." "I am very much obliged to you, sir," Ralph replied; "but I shall work my way home if I can.

I have learned to be pretty handy on board the privateer, and I would as lief be working forward as dawdling about aft all the way home.

Beside, I don't want to inconvenience my mother by her being called upon suddenly to pay thirty or forty pounds directly I get home.

I have caused her trouble enough as it is." "That's, right, my lad," the captain said.
