I don't think that it is Ransome's writing, but an artefact of making scanned plates of worn type face pages so the "f" looks like an "r".
I have an old second hand copy of Swallows and Amazons (1949) which is clearly "Of course" in Titty's description, but in my new 1999 Coot Club hardback it does say "Or course".
