The British seamen behaved nobly; even the regular grumblers forgot their complaints and came forward to assist in transporting the weak and helpless creatures from their prison. So cramped and emaciated were they that many had to be carried in the arms of the men.
Panine, with his Polish impetuosity, was making the most ardent protestations to Pierre he would be indebted to him for life.
