well out at sea- Then they appeared on
deck with the story that they are orphans,
that they thought they could live better in
America than in England, that they knew
of no way to get there except by slowing
away, and that they would rather work
as sailors than to be Liverpool boot5lacks.
Captain Woodwork, master of the vessel,
put five of them at work, and the sixth,

cided. The story that they are orphans
was probably told to gain sympathy. They
