`` No , no , '' replied I. `` I wo n't unless all the rest do . '' Bob then took me on one side , and told me what had taken place , and asked me what he should say to the captain . I told him , and then he left us . At ten o'clock the captain came on board . Bob Cross went up to him and said he wished to say something to him in the cabin . He followed the captain down , and then explained to him that I was among the pressed men but as a means of obtaining plenty more men , I had remained among them , and had not made myself known , for fear my trick should get wind ; also that I thought the crimp should be kept on board , although he was of no use as a seaman . `` Mr Keene has behaved very prudently , '' replied Captain Delmar .
