It was a very brave little song, but
Johnny Chuck didn't feel half so
brave and bold as he tried to think
he did. Already he was beginning of
to wonder where he should him. A great fear

tail actually grinned and winked at
him. And right then all his fear left
him.
"Pooh!" said Johnny Chuck scornfully.
"Who's afraid of him?" He suddenly
realized that he was no longer a
helpless little Chuck who couldn't take
care of himself, but big and strong,
with sharp teeth with which his old
enemy had no mind to make a closer
acquaintance when there were mice
and snakes to be caught without
fighting. So he puffed out his chest
and went on, and actually began
to enjoy himself, and almost
wished for a chance to show
how big and strong he was.

The Mystery of
the Deep with
Johnny Chuck
That was the first of m any talks
with Dan, who told Harvey why he
would transfer his dory's name to the
imaginary Burgess-modelled haddock.
Harvey heard a good deal about the
real Hattie at Gloucester; saw a lock of
her hair - which Dan, finding fair
words of no avail, had "hooked" as
she sat in front of him at school that
winter - and a photograph. Hattie was
about fourteen years old, with an
awful contempt for boys, and had
been trampling on Dan's heart
through the winter. All this was
revealed under oath of solemn secre-
cy on moonlit decks, in the dead dark,
or in choking fog; the whining wheel
behind them, the climbing deck
before, and without, the unrestingly,
clamorous sea. Once, of course, as the
boys came to know each other, there
was a fight, which raged from bow to
stern till Penn came up and separated
them, but promised not to tell Disco,
who thought to fight on watch rather
worse than sleeping. Harvey was no
match for Dan physically, but it says a
great deal for his new training that he
took his defeat and did not try to get
even with his conqueror by under-
hand methods.
Johnny Chuck in
"Johnny
Chuck Turns
Tramp"
Johnny Chuck had turned
tramp. Yes, Sir, Johnny Chuck
had turned tramp. It was a
funny thing to do, but he had
done it. He didn't know why he
had done it, excepting that he
had become dissatisfied and
discontented and unhappy in
his old home.
