Marryat rolled his bed across the door, and Babbage pushed it away. Marryat tied a string from his wrist to the door handle, and Babbage unfastened it. A thicker string was cut, a chain was unlinked by pliers, but at last the future captain forged a chain that was too stout for the future mathematician.

One had a broken rib, the result of a punch; the skipper set it. Another had lost some teeth, and showed a few more that were loose.

He pulled it free and the monk chattered at him excitedly. "Sorry, boy," Rick muttered. The side-cutting pliers weren't the best tools, but he managed to chew off a piece of the tape.
