With a bitter laugh he turned and rolled Brian over with his foot. The five seamen had gone down under the bullets. "He is only stunned," said Red Murrough. "Shall I finish it?"
He had scarcely finished his draught, however, when he lost his balance, and was precipitated upon the pavement. The crash of his fall was heard in the bar, and his son, who had just come in, ran, along with several others, to ascertain what had happened. They found him, however, only severely stunned.
