" XIV SEARCHING FOR THE TREASURE r FROM despondency I was quickly uplifted to joy. It was clear that Captain Head was not such a dis obliging commander after all. " Oh, he s all right," said the Doctor. He means to be agreeable, but he s terribly worried just now about the fix he s in over the coal. I don t see how he s going to get out of it, myself; but he s an awfully lucky mar iner, and something will no doubt happen to straighten things out for him."

They were down in their corner playing their cribbage and smok ing. You may be sure they took very little interest in their game when the six of us the Doctor, Mr. Nason, three stalwart deckhands and myself ap peared before the bulkhead door, and, without in the least regarding them or the anxious looks they gave, began to slip the bolts and bars. "That s strange," said the officer, when the great iron door swung open and the dank breath from down below came up to us where we stood in the steerage [153]
