"Say, you want to make sure and clear that point over there!" he sang out as he sprawled along the upper port side of the craft like a great crab, owing to a sudden lurch of the boat. "Going to do it as easy as to turn your hand over," replied the boy at the rudder; "but what makes you say that, Tubby?"
