Oh, here is the skipper!" "Ah! Mark, my lad, here you are then.

So you've brought the dog ?" "Yes, father, and--" "Where's Mr Gregory ?" "Over yonder, sir," said Billy Widgeon.

"Pst!" he whispered to Mark, "say somewhat about the dog." "Do you want him to stay then ?" said Mark.
"Stop! Sartin I do.

Why, theer'll be him and old Jack, and they'll have no end of a game aboard when theer's a calm.

There, the skipper's gone to old Greg, and you aren't said a word." "But I will," said Mark.
