I was aware that more of the men were climbing up the ladder and gaining the poop, but I had no eyes for them. I was watching that sanguinary group aft near the wheel and noting the most important thing, namely, that it was Bert Rhine, the gangster, and not the second mate, who gave orders and was obeyed.
"You can save your heads so that when you return to work there will be enough of you left to do the work." "If you are making threats " Charles Davis began, but was silenced by a glare from the gangster. "Well, what is it?" Bert Rhine demanded. "Cough it off your chest." "It's for your own good," was my reply.
It could no longer be hidden save by lying; and so I told her the truth, told her how and why the gangster had had his face dashed with sulphuric acid by the old steward who knew white men and their ways. There is little more to write. The mutiny of the Elsinore is over.
Clay caught him off his balance, using a short arm jolt which had back of it all that twenty-three years of clean outdoors Arizona could give. The gangster hit the pavement hard. He got up furious and charged again. The Arizonan, busy with the other man, tried to sidestep. An uppercut jarred him to the heel.
Burke swung his left hand, still numb from the black-jack blow on his shoulder, and caught the ruffian's nose and forehead. A vigorous pull drew the fellow's teeth loose with a jerk. "Well, you dog!" grunted the policeman, as he dragged the gangster to the street level. "You'll have iron bars to bite before many hours, and then the electric chair!"

Yes." "If he isn't in, wait for him if you wait till daylight " "Important as all that, eh?" "It's life or death to me," said Mrs. Inche serenely.
As gangster, thug, holdup man and second-story artist Billy had found food for his appetite within the dismal, sooty streets of Chicago's great West Side, and then Fate had flung him upon the savage shore of Yoka to find other forms of adventure where the best that is in a strong man may be brought out in the stern battle for existence against primeval men and conditions.
"They are helping along. The District Attorney has sent up gangster after gangster; but it's like a quicksand, Burke new rascals seem to slide in as fast as you shovel out the old ones." "I have the advantage now that they don't know who is looking after Lorna," said Bobbie. "But it was a hard job getting them off my track."
The other was Bill Quigley, one of a forecastle group of three that herded uniquely together, though the other two, Frank Fitzgibbon and Richard Oiler, were in the second mate's watch. The three had proved handy with their fists, and clannish; they had fought pitched forecastle battles with the gangster clique and won a sort of neutrality of independence for themselves.
Instead he would have felt keen enjoyment of her discomfiture. And now another strange new emotion took possession of him. It was none other than a desire to atone in some way for his words. What wonderful transformation was taking place in the heart of the Kelly gangster? "Say!" he blurted out suddenly. Barbara Harding turned questioning eyes toward him.
