In the meantime, what Rhine says goes. Get that, and get it straight. I am behind Rhine until the police come on board. Bombini! do whatever Rhine tells you. I'll shoot the man who tries to stop you. Deacon! Stand away from Chantz. Go over to the fife-rail." All hands knew the stream of lead my automatic rifle could throw, and Arthur Deacon knew it. He hesitated barely a moment, then obeyed.
And the three advanced. It was at this moment that I suddenly recollected myself and passed from dream to action. "Bombini!" I said sharply. He paused and looked up. "Stand where you are," I ordered, "till I do some talking. Chantz! Make no mistake. Rhine is boss for'ard. You take his orders . . . until we get into Valparaiso; then you'll take your chances along with him in jail.
Pike was apprehensive of a shot from ambush, and it was not until after a scrutiny of several minutes that he put his pistol into his side coat-pocket and snarled for'ard: "Come out, you rats! Show your ugly faces! I want to talk with you!" Guido Bombini, gesticulating peaceable intentions and evidently thrust out by Bert Rhine, was the first to appear. When it was observed that Mr.
I saw the horror of his face, but the description of it is beyond the limits of any English I possess. I was aware that Margaret, at my shoulder, gasped and shuddered. "Bombini! stick him," the gangster repeated. "And stick any man that raises a yap. Murphy! See that Bombini does his work." Murphy's knife was out and at the bravo's back. Kid Twist covered the Jew's group with his revolver.
This makes twenty-seven of them against the eleven of us. But there are men, strong in viciousness, among them. They, too, have their serfs and bravos. Guido Bombini and Isaac Chantz are certainly bravos. And weaklings like Sorensen, and Jacobsen, and Bob, cannot be anything else than slaves to the men who compose the gangster clique. I failed to tell what happened yesterday, after Mr.
Lars Jacobsen was limping on his twice-broken leg, and with him were Sundry Buyers, Tony the Greek, Bombini, and Mulligan Jacobs. Nosey Murphy held the turn. When they stopped from sheer exhaustion Murphy's glance chanced to fall on Charles Davis, the one man who had not worked since the outset of the voyage and who was not working now. "Bear a hand, Davis," the gangster called.
I am afraid that I am not so successfully the man of action that I have been priding myself on being; for, so curious and interested was I in observing the moving drama beneath me that for the moment I failed to glimpse the tragedy into which it was culminating. "Bombini!" Bert Rhine said. His voice was imperative. It was the order of a master to the dog at heel. Bombini responded.
Pike, still alive and clinging to the log-line, cut adrift by the steward to be eaten alive by great-beaked albatrosses, mollyhawks, and sooty-plumaged Cape hens; Steve Roberts, one-time cowboy, shot by me as he tried to shoot me; Herman Lunkenheimer, his throat cut before all of us by the hound Bombini as Kid Twist stretched the throat taut from behind; the two mates, Mr. Pike and Mr.
