It was Jeremy who, five minutes later, held Job's head on his knees, while the weary, bleeding sailors stood silently by with their hats off. The bo's'n, a grizzled veteran of many sea-fights, was kneeling beside his Captain with an ear to his side. There was hope in the man's face when at length he looked up. "He's breathin' yet," was his verdict, "breathin', but not much more.
You defy me, do you? This is mutiny! Take that! And that! "He snatched two pistols from his sash and commenced firing, right and left. The first shot hit Mike the Shark and doubled up the book-keeper like a jack-knife, and the second one did the same for Sandy Buggins. "'Hold hard, Cap'n! cried the old bo's'n, 'p'r'aps you'll tell us what all this pirating WAS for, if it wa'n't for money.
She turned as if to fly, but Daniel put his arm round her waist and detained her. "Elspie, dearest Elspie, it must be settled now or ." He would not could not say "never." "O Daniel, don't!" entreated Elspie. But Daniel did. "Bray-vo!" exclaimed the bo's'n with enthusiasm, for he was a sympathetic man, though unprincipled in the matter of eavesdropping. That cut it short.
We saw some 'bo's'n' birds for the first time, and more shoals of flying-fish. I wish a few of the latter would come on board; they would be an agreeable addition to our breakfast-table. The rolling still continues, the wind being dead aft, and nothing but our square canvas being set.

The bo's'n pipes the watch below, Yeo ho! lads! ho! Yeo ho! Yeo ho! Then here's a health afore we go, Yeo ho! lads! ho! Yeo ho! A long, long life to my sweet wife, And mates at sea Keep it up down there! I have one hand on the ledge

As for Bob, he had so far escaped the lash, it being understood that he was not an ordinary ship's boy.

Good-bys were hastily spoken and Captain Stewart soon had his party hurrying across the platform to the Annapolis car. As he settled Rosalie in her seat he asked: "How many Miss Boylstons have you got at Columbia Heights?"
