Be smart, my lads.

Don't cheer, but seem to be taking it coolly.

You're right, Mr Raystoke," he added a minute later; "there's something wrong with that boat, or she would not want to run away." For the direction of the little yawl they were making for was suddenly changed, and it was evident that, seeing how the second boat, commanded by the boatswain, was going to head her off from the west, she was being put on the other course, so as to run east.
But the first boat was going rapidly through the water now, and a turn of the helm changed her course, so that it would be easy to cut the yawl off from going in the new direction, while an attempt to pass between the boats and head straight for sea was also met by the steersmen of the pursuers.
"Why, what's she going to do ?" said Gurr.

"Ah, my lad, it's all a flam.
Only a lobster-boat after all.

She's going to run in under the cliffs where there's no wind, and of course it's to take up her lobster-pots." "If she was only going to take up lobster-pots she wouldn't have tried to run," said Archy sharply.
