Old Ben, the story-teller, demurs, but finally assents and describes the following incident. In the forecastle, the boys are dancing when the mate, a big, black-visaged sea dog, appears and tells them to cease their fun. He goes down the hatchway and returns dragging a little stowaway. Grasping the boy by the front of the shirt he fiercely demands how dared he be a stowaway. The boy had a face bright as sunshine and a pair of blue eyes. The mate interrogates him fiercely as to what his name was and who had stowed him away. He replied that his name was just Frank and his stepfather had brought him abroad. The mate was not convinced and still roughly demanded to know which of the seamen had brought him on board, threatening him with hanging. The rough sailors pleaded and one offered to work his passage out, but the boy declared he had spoken the truth and asking for a moment to pray, he knelt and prayed as the sea-dogs stood around with tears in their eyes. Pushing his way through, the mate grasped the boy in his arms and with a burst of emotion kisses him. He was satisfied that the boy had spoken the truth.
