Barradas grinned. "We didn't give 'em the chance. We're short-handed as it is." "I heard that half a dozen of your men had bolted," said Barry. "Did you? Why, who told you? Oh, the wharf policeman. Yes, that's right enough; we did lose six men.
"Yes," answered Rawlings savagely, "both of them. But Barradas must go first. We will want the other to take us to Singapore. If I could navigate we could get rid of them both before we leave here. As for that drunken, red-bearded pig, we'll keep him with us. Those niggers of his will be useful to us later on they will wipe out these cursed Gilbert Islanders for us when the time comes.
I have the utmost faith in your judgment, Mr. Barry, and I want everything to go on pleasantly." Barry nodded, and then went aft and attended to the Greek's wounded arm. This occupied him for nearly half an hour, and then as he was entering his cabin to change his clothes, which were torn and blood-stained, Barradas stopped him and held out his hand. "Mr. Barry, you are a brave man.
King Tirumala of Vijayanagar was in 1575 followed apparently by his second son, Ranga II., whose successor was his brother Venkata I. . The latter reigned for at least twenty-eight years, and died an old man in 1614. At his death there were widespread revolts, disturbances, and civil warfare, as we shall presently see from the account of Barradas given in the next chapter.
Barry and several of the men rushed to the side to assist Velo in rescuing the second mate. They were not a moment too soon, for as the Samoan, who had grasped Barradas by the hair and was holding his head out of water, was swimming toward the staging under the main chains, the shark suddenly appeared under the counter, swimming high up on the surface.
"What the do you mean by insulting Manuel like that? you must take it back," and, unperceived by the Spaniard, he gave the man a deep, meaning glance. The Greek, who had drawn his sheath knife, dashed it down upon the cabin floor and extended his hand to the second mate. "I take it back, Barradas. You are no coward, you are brave man. We are all good comrada. I never mean to insult you."
I am bound to Noumea, New Caledonia, and from there I can send them on to Sydney or Fiji for the trial wish I could dispose of them both in the good old-fashioned style, by dangling them from the end of the yard-arm. Now as to this other man, Barradas. He seems to have made all the amends possible in his power, but nevertheless he certainly was their accomplice in the piracy of the vessel.
Two at least of those great moments in acting that everybody remembers were furnished by Booth in this character the defiance of the masked assailant, at Rouel, and the threat of excommunication delivered upon Barradas.
Tracey had looked forward to the trial of Rawlings and the Greek with the utmost aversion; for heartless villains and murderers as they were, their probable death at the hands of the law haunted Mrs. Tracey like a nightmare, and Barradas himself had a growing horror of the coming time, for on his evidence alone Rawlings would certainly be hanged.
You and I have been lucky so far in smaller matters, but this is a big thing, and we have to look to ourselves." "Yes," said the Greek, with savage emphasis. "Mus' we all tree be hung like dogga, because you, Manuel, have no pluck? Bah! you coward!" "Don't you call me a coward, you dirty, ear-ringed Levantine thief!" and Barradas sprang to his feet.
