At this moment Dora touched the captain on the shoulder. "Please, captain," she said, "I knew Dan Baxter quite well and I am sure this young man is the same person." "It aint so.
I tell you, captain, it is a plot." "What kind of a plot could it be ?" asked Captain Blossom.
He scarcely knew what to say. "I don't know.

"For it belongs to us--at least two hundred and seventy-five dollars of it--not counting what he may have got on the diamonds and the cuff buttons." "You shan't touch my money!" screamed Baxter. "Captain, he ought to be placed under arrest," said Dick. Dora had gone back to the cabin and now she returned in great haste with Nellie and Grace. "To be sure, that is Dan Baxter," said Nellie. "There can be no mistake," put in Grace, "We all know him only too well." "You see, Captain Blossom, that we are six to one," said Tom.
