“Funny,” said the Admiral after they had disappeared. “I got the impression that Mr. Farland doesn’t know his twins could have been sailing south with us.”

“He doesn’t,” said Tom. “They didn’t tell him. Port said that if they did he’d have made them come with us, and then he’d have had to scratch Flash out of the championship.”

“And, of course, they’d rather win those races than come with us,” said the Admiral queerly.

“It isn’t that,” said Dorothea. “They don’t want him not to be able to sail. You see he counts on them.…”

“They don’t want to let him down,” said Tom. “It’s never any use trying to persuade them when it’s like that. I’ve tried before.”

“Well,” said the Admiral, “I hope they get the first gun in every race. They deserve to.”
