CHAPTER 10.
"There is the Phantom getting under way," the skipper said, as his turn up and down the deck brought him close to Frank.
"So she is.

I saw her owner go ashore less than an hour ago." "Yes; he came on board again five minutes ago.

The men began to bustle about directly he got on deck.

I do hope they won't put in again as long as we are here.

The hands are as savage as bulls, and though they remembered what you told them, and there were no rows on shore last night, I shall be glad when we ain't in the same port with the Phantom, for I am sure that if two or three men of each crew were to drop in to the same pub, there would be a fight in no time.
