ON A DARK AND FOGGY NIGHT "I reckon I don't quite understand you, Gilder," said Captain Folkner, very nervously. "I thought I was still in command of the Teaser." "I shall not blame you for thinking so; but you are utterly mistaken all the same," added Christy. "Did you come here to take the command out of my hands? Is that the reason why you sent all my men to Town Point?" demanded the captain, getting an idea of the situation.
