166 Dunston Porter told all they knew concerning the case against Merwell and Jasniff, and the captain told what he knew about the Emma Brower and her commander.

"I am going to telegraph to my father about this," said Phil, a little later. "If this vessel can get a cargo for Barbados she might as well sail for that port as anywhere."

"Well, I'm willing," answered Captain Sanders. "When will you send word to him?"

"Right away—I'll send him a telegram at once."

"I hope it turns out all right," said Dave. "I feel it is my duty to get after Merwell and Jasniff, and do it as soon as possible."
