It has occurred to me that the second lieutenant invented the name that represents him on the ship's books.

Lillyworth is a little strained; if he had called himself Smith or Brown, it would have been less suspicious." "In the conversation to which Dave listened on the bridge, both of them blundered, and let out their real names, though each of them reproved the other for doing so.

The second lieutenant's real name is Pawcett, and that of the deaf mute is Hungerford." "The last is decidedly a southern name, and the other may be for aught I know.

Hungerford, Hungerford," said Mr.Flint, repeating the name several times.

"It means something to me, but I can't make it out yet." The first lieutenant cudgelled his brains for a minute or two as though he was trying to connect the name with some event in the past.
