Chapter 17
IN about a minute somebody spoke out of a window without putting his head out,
and says:
"Be done, boys! Who's there?"
I says:
"It's me."
"Who's me?"
"George Jackson, sir."
"What do you want?"
"I don't want nothing, sir. I only want to go along by, but the dogs won't let me."
"What are you prowling around here this time of night for -- hey?"
"I warn't prowling around, sir, I fell overboard off of the steamboat."
"Oh, you did, did you? Strike a light there, somebody. What did you say your
name was?"
"George Jackson, sir. I'm only a boy."
"Look here, if you're telling the truth you needn't be afraid -- nobody'll hurt you.
But don't try to budge; stand right where you are. Rouse out Bob and Tom, some
of you, and fetch the guns. George Jackson, is there anybody with you?"
"No, sir, nobody."
