i could easily see what the canadian was driving at. in any event, i thought it best to let him have his chat, and we all three went to sit next to the beacon, where we were less exposed to the damp spray from the billows.

Dutch

ik zag wel waar de amerikaan heen wilde; in allen gevalle achtte ik het beter er over te praten, omdat hij het begeerde, en wij gingen met ons drieën bij de lantaarn zitten, waar wij minder gevaar liepen door den golfslag bespat te worden.
