Then old Jack rolled off his chair and roared so loud that I was
afraid he would wake up all the passengers on the boat. The room
was soon full of people, and every one was crowding around to get
a look at the old fool that was making so much noise.
Jack ordered the drinks, saying:
"You fellars think I haint got no sense, but I'll bet yer's long's
I's got two kerds to yer's one."
While old Jack was paying the barkeeper for the drams I put a pencil
mark on the boy ticket, and my friend saw me do it.
