The boys, in their eagerness to render prompt obedience, all passed over to the opposite ends of the thwarts, and the boat instantly careened upon the other side. "Avast there! Now stop a bit," continued the old sailor. "I am going to number you all. I don't know your names, all of you; so just mind the figgers. Tony, you are number one; say it." "One," shouted Tony, with a pleasant laugh. "The boy on the next seat." "Two." "Stop a bit; we have got one too many. One of you must be coxswain. Cap'n Sedley says you must choose him by vote.

Next boy, number." "Three." "Next." "Four." "Five." The boys all numbered, with the exception of Frank Sedley, who was not to pull an oar.
