I will go, of course, but will not take any management of the little craft, as I know nothing about the working of vessels." "And where do you mean to go ?" asked Henry.
"That remains to be seen.

I have some ideas running in my head, of course; but before letting you know them, I wish to hear what you would advise." "I would advise, in the first place, that you should provide one or two thorough sailors to manage the craft.

By the way, that reminds me of Bumpus.

What of him?
Where is he?
In the midst of all this bustle I have not had time for much thought; and it has only just occurred to me that if this schooner is really a pirate, and if Gascoyne turns out to be Durward, it follows that Bumpus is a pirate too, and ought to be dealt with accordingly." "I have thought of that," said Mr.Mason, with a perplexed look, "and intended to speak to you on the subject; but events have crowded so fast upon each other of late that it has been driven out of my mind.

No doubt, if the Foam and the Avenger are one and the same vessel, as seems too evident to leave much room for doubt, then Bumpus is a pirate; for he does not deny that he was one of the crew.
