text_original: Hal gazed after the shore bound naval officer for a few moments, then observed, dryly: "I'm not a bit curious. Are you, Jack?" "Of course not," smiled the young skipper. "All I want to know is what's in the air so suddenly." "Going back to the yard earlier?" "No; later," retorted Benson. "What is the use of letting folks suppose they have our curiosity aroused?" In fact, when evening came on, instead of going to the "Benson" for supper, Jack and Hal stopped at the hotel. Ewald and Biffens were there, at one of the tables, but the sailors seemed to be eating in more haste than usual.
