`` I can get you off , and make it all right with you . '' `` No , I thank you , '' added Dory ; and he declined to take any further notice of his persecutor .

Thad got out the provisions ; and , though there was not much variety to the repast , the boys ate heartily . After the meal some of them went to sleep . Before ten o'clock the Goldwing was alongside the wharf , in the position where Dory had first seen her .
