Arbuckle invited us to take a trip into Germany, and Mr. Lowington promised that we should go. Then, because we don't drill quite as well as the new captain wishes, he insists upon going to sea. The cruise down the Rhine is given up, and we are to carry the Arbuckles to Belfast." "Who says we are going to Belfast?" demanded Tremere. "All the fellows say so."

"All the fellows;" and Hyde rehearsed the arguments which had been used to sustain the proposition. "As you are now a member of the Order of the Faithful, you may know its secrets," laughed Tremere. "Mr. Lowington made an explanation to those who did not take the law into their own hands;" and he proceeded to give the substance of this statement.

That's the talk!" responded half a dozen of the group, who had been anxiously discussing the question. "No, no!" added half a dozen others. "Why not?" demanded Raymond of the opponents of the plan. "Because the Arbuckles are on board, for one reason, and because it will be mutiny, for the second," said Tremere, who volunteered to be spokesman for the opposition. "Mr.

"Disobedience is disobedience, whether you are respectful or disrespectful; whether you say 'no' squarely, or 'excuse me; only the former is less cowardly than the latter," said Tremere, in reply. "As I understand the matter, you are getting up a row, asking fellows to write to their fathers to take them away from the ship." "All hands, up anchor, ahoy!" shouted the boatswain, at the main hatch.

The Arbuckles had seats near the foremast, on which the professor displayed his maps, diagrams, and other illustrations of his teachings. These lectures were received with different degrees of favor by various students. While such as Paul Kendall, Shuffles, Gordon, and Tremere regarded them as very valuable privileges, others considered them as intolerable bores.

Lindsley, thinking that Tremere and Willis did not understand their plan, volunteered to explain that they did not intend to use any violent measures; that they meant to be entirely respectful to the officers and to the faculty.

"Well, they'll get them when they return to their duty, and not before, unless it is the right to be punished for their disobedience," added Tremere. "I still think it was not fair to give up the trip to the Rhine, after the promise that we should go, though it was a great mistake of mine to refuse to do duty," added Hyde. "Who says the trip is given up?"

Of course they wanted to know more about it, and the new organization was explained to them. "I'm glad you backed out, Hyde," said Tremere. "When are the rest coming?" "I don't know that they are coming at all. I got enough of it." "What do those fellows want to do?" "Get their rights."

"How's the weather on deck, Tremere?" finally asked Raymond, when no hint would induce the faithful one to speak first. "It looks like a change. I shouldn't wonder if all hands were called to furl top-gallant sails and reef topsails before eight bells," answered Tremere. "How did you get along working ship?" "For further particulars, inquire of the principal," replied he.

"That's bully!" said Hyde, rubbing his hands with satisfaction at the assumed success of the scheme. "Are you sure that you counted right?" inquired Lindsley. "I counted ten, and added Tremere and Willis to the number, for they had gone up before I began. I didn't expect even as many as that would go." But the enthusiastic rebel had made a blunder.
