It's a matter of honour;" and Governor Berriman drew himself up with pride. The farmer turned a troubled face to the fire. "I suppose, then," he said finally, "that you all think the Governor is the best man we have for the United States Senate.
Captain Berriman, order your men to row you out of danger." "I am not in command," said the captain feebly. "Mr Brymer, then," cried Mr Denning. "Quick, they are dragging up something else to throw over." "I should not be a man, sir, if I ordered the men in cold blood to leave you and your sister," said Mr Brymer huskily. "But you are risking other lives.
The first thing is to rig up a bit of an awning here astern, to shelter the captain and faugh! it makes my gorge rise to see that young scoundrel here, but I suppose we must behave like Christians, eh, Mr Frewen?" "You have just proved that you intended to, sir, for you were thinking of sheltering the lad as well as Captain Berriman, when you talked of the awning."
"I can shoot them," said Mr Denning, quietly. "I do not like to take life, but I feel that I must fire now." "Then keep your gun, sir," said Captain Berriman; "you need not hesitate, for it is a good deed to rid the earth of such wretches as these, and remember you are fighting for your sister's sake."
"Amen," said Mr Denning, softly; and he walked into the cabin, and laid his hand upon that of Captain Berriman, both men gazing into each other's eyes as if in their feeble state they might soon be called upon to answer the question what they had done with the talents committed to their charge.
Lynch, the son-in-law of the Archbishop, the Mico was more explicit, and requested that some person might be sent to teach them; more particularly their youth. On the next day they went to Eton College, and were received by the Rev. Dr. George, Dr. Berriman, and the rest of the Fellows present.
Again there was silence for a few moments, and then Jarette cried, "Now then; do you hear?" This was followed by a sharp rap on the door, and a voice cried "You in the cabin Captain Jarette says you are to understand that he is now master of this ship, and that no harm will be done to any one if you all give up quietly." "And if we do not," said Captain Berriman, sharply, "what then?"
Captain Berriman was silent. "Stop a moment!" cried Mr Frewen; and he ran into his cabin, to return with a revolver which he threw on the table. "Useless," he said. "The case of cartridges gone. Here, Mr Denning, see to your gun, see what cartridges you have." Mr Denning threw open the breech of his double-barrelled gun, examined the two cartridges, and closed the breech again.
"Half of them wouldn't touch it," said Captain Berriman. "I'd suggest grog, but they have spirits no doubt, and they want food." There was a dead silence, and then feeling nervous, and as if I was certain to be snubbed, I ventured to speak. "Wouldn't a tin of the soup do?" I said. Mr Brymer brought his hand down on my shoulder. "The very thing!" he cried eagerly.
They were silent for a few moments, and then Mr Frewen spoke. "Look here, Dale," he said, "this is a delicate matter. You have seen that Captain Berriman is ill?" "I thought he was very strange, and a bit cross sometimes." "Far worse than that. Look here, Dale, if you go chattering about what you have heard," said Mr Brymer, "you may make a great deal of mischief."
