Rufinus, however, vehemently denied this; he pointed out to him that the same punishment awaited him, whether he laid down his arms or defended himself, and the old ship-wright eagerly exclaimed: "We built this boat, and I know you of old, Setnau; You will not turn Judas and, if you do, you know that Christian blood will be shed on this deck before we can show our teeth to those Infidels."
