Clairy has been challenged to fight by some of those whom be accused. Now, sir and classmates, a midshipman may refuse to fight, but if he does he must submit his case to his class, and then be guided by the class decision as to whether he must fight or not. Mr. Clairy has not done this." "He's a cur!" shouted a voice. "I accept the remark," bowed Mr.
No fellow here can refuse to fight, unless he couples with his refusal an offer to submit the case to his own class for action. No one, henceforth, will have a word to say to Clairy." "Perhaps not; but I still insist that the class meeting ought to be called." This was the general sentiment among the first classmen. Darrin was the only real dissenter to the plan.
"Not exactly that," replied the superintendent. "The fact is that Mr. Clairy's charges do not concern the eight midshipmen collectively, but individually. Had Mr. Clairy charged all eight of the midshipmen of an offense committed at the same time and together, and had the eight midshipmen all denied it, then we should be reluctantly compelled to admit the probability that Mr.
"You see, my dear Graves," explained the superintendent, "it is the rule of custom here, and a safe rule at that, to accept the word of a midshipman as being his best recollection or knowledge of the truth of any statement that he makes. In that case, we would seem to be bound to accept the statements of Mr. Clairy."
But he declared that I buttoned it up while facing him, and so I'm on my way to place myself on report for an offense that I didn't commit." "Clairy just sent me to the O.C. to frap the pap for having my shoes unlaced," remarked Dave, his face flushing darkly. "I don't know. I can't see his game clearly. But he's certainly hunting trouble." "Then "
Midshipman Clairy had ordered no less than eight first classmen to put themselves on report for offenses that none of them would admit having committed. Oh, but there was wrath boiling in the quarters occupied by those eight first classmen. "Did Clairy wet you, Farley?" demanded Darrin. "No; I haven't been out of my room until just now." Dan was a victim, too."
All I'm sorry for is that it's too late to hold the class meeting within the next five minutes." Dave found even his own roommate opposed to delay in dealing with the preposterous case of the outrageous Mr. Clairy.
Both denied utterly the charges on which Clairy had ordered them to report themselves. Again Mr. Clairy was sent for, and once more he asserted the complete truthfulness of his charges. It was so in the cases of the five remaining midshipmen under charges, though still Mr. Clairy stuck to the correctness of the report.
All we can do is to get the class out and send the fellow to Coventry." "What do you imagine it all means, Darry?" questioned Fenwick. Dave's wrath had had time to simmer down, and he was cooler now. "I wish I knew what to think, fellows," Dave answered slowly. "Clairy has never shown signs of doing such things before."
Dave thereupon related swiftly what had happened, Dan staring in sheer amazement. Then Dalzell jumped up. "Where are you going?" Darrin answered. "To interview Clairy." "You'd better not, Dan. The trouble is thick enough already." "I'm going to interview Clairy -perhaps," retorted Midshipman Dalzell.
