I made you out two hours ago.

We will stop here another two or three minutes, so that the men may think you are bargaining for a passage for the negro, and then the sooner he is on board and you are on your way back the better, for the wind is rising, and I fancy it is going to blow a good deal harder before night." "And won't you let me pay for the man's passage, captain?
It is only fair, anyhow, that I should pay for what he will eat." "Oh, nonsense!" the captain replied.

"He will make himself useful, and pay for his keep.

I am only too glad to get the poor fellow off.

Now, we will have a glass of wine together and then say good-by." Two minutes later they returned to the deck.
