We had to get out of Manila, and I didn't want to be monkeyin' around with no courts nor judges, and I let the police have their own say, and agreed with 'em when I saw a chance to keep clear, and disagreed when I saw it would delay us to get tangled up in the killin' of the bos'n." "Well, I don't see what all that has got to do with this," said Captain Riggs. "Ye don't? Look a here!
"The whole crew the whole forecastle mutiny, Cap'n Henshaw! I know " The piercing whistle of the bos'n cut into his speech, and the crew rolled forward over the hatch with a single shout that might have come from one throat except for its shrill volume. "It's come!" cried Harrigan to McTee. "Kate!" But even as he whirled, two sailors leaped on him from behind and bore him to the deck.
I went off and sat down on a coil of rope, and the more I thought it over, the more I didn't make it out. After that I heard lively talking forward a little, and there was Captain Clyde, the bos'n, mate, Stevey Todd, and some others arguing.
With men and boys she was meek enough, but no person wearing skirts, and alone, might venture in that field without being chased by that cow. What would happen if the pursued one was caught could only be surmised, for, so far, no female had permitted herself to be caught. Few would come even so near as the other side of the pasture walls. Bos'n had forgotten the cow.
When his senses returned, he was sitting on the floor staring stupidly into the white face of the bos'n, who was in a similar posture. Harrigan, who had been flung from the bunk, staggered to his feet. "What the deuce is up?" asked the Irishman. A chorus of piercing yells rose in answer from the deck outside. "The end of the Mary Rogers," said McTee. "Stay with me, Harrigan."
"Then if you'll go forward, Harrigan," said the captain, and his voice was dry and dead as his skin "if you'll go forward and report to the bos'n, he'll see that you have a bunk." "Thank you, sir," murmured Harrigan, and slipped from the room on his bare feet. "That man," stated Henshaw, "is as strong as you are, McTee, and yet they call you the huskiest sailor of the South Seas."
Land sakes! there's somebody at the door; and I expect I'm a perfect sight." She rubbed her face with her apron, thereby making it redder than ever, and hurried into the dining room. "Bos'n," said Captain Cy quickly, "you stay here in the kitchen." Emmie looked at him in surprised bewilderment, but she suppressed her curiosity concerning the identity of the person who had knocked, and obeyed.
He called to Harrigan, and getting no answer shook him by the shoulder. He put his hand under Harrigan's chin and raised the listless head. It rolled heavily back and the dull eyes stared up at him. "God!" said the bos'n, and started back. The head remained where he had placed it, the eyes staring straight up at the ceiling. "God!" whispered the bos'n again, and ran from the forecastle.
Speak a word or make a movement and I'll blow your brains out against the partition behind you! Listen to what I say or you are a dead man. Sing out an order instantly for my mate and my bos'n to come here to the cabin, and be quick about it, for my finger's on the trigger, and it's only a pull to shut your mouth forever."
