The general and three or four of the other passengers were on the poop, smoking under the awning which they had been obliged to spread for themselves, and observing the movements of the men under the cover of a pretence of reading; and when the longboat had disappeared the general came down to apprise me of that fact, and also of another, namely, that the steerage passengers Hales and Cruickshank, and two seamen, armed to the teeth with pistols and cutlasses the latter at least, in all probability, taken from my men had been left behind for the obvious purpose of taking care of the ship and keeping us in order during the absence of the others.
Yet he had the hardihood to ring, and the hour blessed them both, for Advena on the stair, catching who knows what of presage out of the sound, turned, and found him at the threshold herself. "I understand how you must feel in the matter, Murchison, said Henry Cruickshank.
"That is good news," said I, "and I will see that the two women are properly rewarded for their trouble. Now let us see how we stand. How many do the mutineers muster, all told?" "Twenty-five, or twenty-seven if we count in Hales and Cruickshank," answered Carter. "And how many do we muster on our side?" said I. "Let me just reckon up.

That evening the Murchisons' doorbell rang twice. The first time it was to admit the Rev.
Cruickshank went home and wrote a challenge to Innes, and Innes went home and wrote one to Cruickshank. They met and fought at Laurencekirk: Major C. Robertson, Kindface, Invergordon, was Cruickshank's second, and Dr Hoyle, Montrose, was in attendance as surgeon. was Innes's second, and Dr Skene, Aberdeen, his surgeon.
