Excerpt: "e;The towering stacks of the steamboat "e;Mediterranean"e; sent their clouds of smoke, black and wind rent, across the sky; her sharp bow cut the yellow waters of the Mississippi and dashed the spray as high as her rails. The cabins were thronged with passengers; the forward deck was tiered high with bales and barrels and boxes of merchandise. Two boys sat by the rail upon the upper deck; their faces were earnest and they talked in low tones. "e;Are you quite sure that Sam Davidge is on board, Walt?"e; asked one. "e;I'd know him among a whole city-full, let alone a cabin-full,"e; answered Walter Jordan. "e;And I've seen him three times to-day."e; The other boy frowned and looked out over the wide river toward the Arkansas shore. "e;It's queer,"e; said he. "e;It's very queer that he should just happen to be going down the river at the same time we are."e; Walter Jordan gave his friend a quick look. "e;Ned,"e; said he, "e;chance has nothing to do with it-as I think you know."e; Ned Chandler nodded. "e;He's on board because we are; he's trying to find out where we are going."e; The boy ran his fingers through his short light hair, and his blue eyes snapped. "e;I never did think much of Davidge; and I think less of him now than I did before."e;"e;
