That wns the story told to the three by the mate, who laughed at their er- rand. It was the way It had been told to him, and he passed It on for what It wns worth. “I'm afraid the mate's been string ing us." growled the lender of the trio. "He didn’t say lie ever heard It, Jim," piped up Shorty, "He Just got It from some of these Chinks, and I reckon he don’t believe It himself."
