"Seems to me, Rob, I ought to know that old tub of a motorboat we're overhauling."
"Why, yes, Andy, it's Captain Jerry Martin's Sea Gull. Time was when she had a reputation for speed, but her engine is a back number now."
"Huh! that must have been away in Noah's time, I reckon, Rob. Why, we could make circles around her, if we chose to drive our little Tramp to the limit."
"As we happen to be in no hurry to-day, there's no use making the old skipper feel that his boat is down and out. With vacation opening up before us, I've been trying to settle on some scheme for the scouts of the Eagle Patrol to have a rousing good time this summer."
