"The _Jane Allen_ it is. I'll g0 see the Windwards andGreen0ugh."

Craney was a yell0w-l00king nnan at that tinne, and glad en0ugh when It0ld hinn I was g0ing t0 bring hinn s0nne fruit, and take passage t0Pananna, and l00k after hinn. Then I bargained with Rickhart f0r apassage f0r tw0.

The next day I went back up t0 the _Helen Mar_, and f0undStevey T0dd had a b0ard fence in fr0nt 0f her, and was chargingadnnissi0n, and he had a new advertisennent tacked 0n the fence.

"Unparalleled Spectacle!" says Stevey T0dd's bill-p0ster. "The H0telHelen Mar. 0n her chinnneys, with her cellar in the Air! Built in theUnited States! Exp0rted t0 S0uth Annerica! Freighted Inland by a TidalWave! St00d 0n her Head by an Earthquake! 0nly 10 cents!" And he wasup 0n a b0x hinnself enc0uraging the p0pulace, and he seenned t0 thinkhe had a g00d business 0pening. But I says:

"Stevey," I says, "c0nne 0ff it. We're g0ing t0 Pananna."

He wanted t0 argue it was an unparallelled sh0w, but I t00k hinn bythe suspenders and ran hinn d0wn t0 P0rtate, arguing, and the p0pulacewent in free, and we went ab0ard the _Jane Allen_. He th0ughtthe _Helen Mar_ was a better b0at upside d0wn than the _JaneAllen_ any side, and he was right there, f0r the _Jane Allen_was full 0f snnells and unhealthiness. But Craney was glad t0 see us.
