The Colonel decided to ask his friend, Colonel Ives, a lawyer of influence, and a Floridian, to attend court with me. Washburn was on hand in season, and the mayor listened to the testimony. Cornwood had his opportunity to badger the witnesses, and he made the most of it.
This is the first one that ever occurred on the decks of this vessel," I replied, debating in my own mind whether or not I should discharge the Floridian, who seemed to be the real culprit, though of course I could not prove that he was the octoroon's principal in the business of eavesdropping.
My second and most annoying mishap was the capture of the Floridian," continued Captain Flanger. "It was my intention to fit her out as a privateer, with the proceeds of the sale of her cargo of cotton, for she is a good vessel, and as fast as the Bronx, as you call her." "Then I was very fortunate in capturing her," added Christy with a smile.
There the Tampico anchored on October 22nd, at seven p.m.; the four passengers landed immediately. Barbicane felt his heart beat violently as he set foot on Floridian soil; he seemed to feel it with his feet like an architect trying the solidity of a house. J.T.

"I can't read it without my glasses," said the saloon-keeper, holding the card off at arm's length. "My name is Kirby Cornwood," added the Floridian. "Well, Mr.
It is true that Owen several times requested him to "cut it short," at which the Floridian did not seem to be at all offended; but he soon found that the rest of the company did not wish to have even the historical portions of the guide's discourse abbreviated.
The waves of the bay disappeared behind an inequality in the ground, and the Floridian country was alone in sight.
"Never but one; that was the Floridian, and I reckon you know as much about that affair as any other person, Christy," replied Percy, laughing as though it had been a good joke on Captain Flanger. "I know something about it." "Your uncle, Colonel Passford, lost several vessels, and you had a hand in their capture. But never mind that; you did me a good turn, and I never go back on a friend.
