You may know what to expect."
With these words the Captain left Redfox standing at the door of the
cabin. He muttered to himself, "Well, do you know, I really believe
his conscience is troubling him--the mushhead! I must deal with him
more firmly.--No, no, Captain, after what happened this morning the
only thing to do is to get him out of the way,--and the helmsman along
with him. I'll tend to that. Ha, ha! Mr. Captain, you'll get up in
the morning early to turn Redfox over to the authorities!"
CHAPTER IX.
A New Plan.
Weeks had passed since the happenings told of in the previous chapter
took place, and nothing of any importance had occurred. Redfox had not
again ordered Willy to climb the mast with him, and even when the ship
was becalmed and lay with slackened sails on a sea smooth and clear as
a looking-glass, he would not allow him to go up to the crow's nest.
"Oh, no, no, if you were to get dizzy and fall, you'd tell that I
pushed you," he sneered at every possible opportunity. Green he
avoided as much as possible.
"The boy was perhaps mistaken, and my suspicions of the Captain and
Redfox may be wholly unfounded," thought honest Green, when week after
week went by without their taking revenge on either him or Willy.
