Being elevated above the ship's rail, the boats are in plain sight from all parts of the deck. Now, one of these boats was to be made way with. No facile matter, truly. Harder than for any dashing young Janizary to run off with a sultana from the Grand Turk's seraglio. Still, the thing could be done, for, by Jove, it had been.
"Ah!" exclaimed Wild, looking angrily towards his supposed attendant. "I beg pardon, Sir," replied Jack, with the accent and manner of the janizary; "I was betrayed into the exclamation by my surprise that anything in which Sir Rowland Trenchard was interested could have reference to so humble a person as Mrs. Sheppard."
The first act they put the General upon was, to take down the city gates and portcullisses, an act which, the General said, was fitter for a Janizary to do than for a General; yet he effected the commands received, and then lodged in the city with his army.
It was the Turk a fellow who had been a janizary, and had the reputation of not knowing what fear was. "Hullo, Ysouf! Get up, for shame get up, man! And you that we called so brave!" Ysouf lay still. Tristram bent forward and took his hand. The hand came away from the body. It was icy cold. Still holding it, Tristram leant back and stared; and as he stared a pettish anger took him.
Having nothing else to amuse his solitude, he employed himself in contriving some plan to gratify his curiosity, in despite of the sedulous caution of Janet and the old Highland janizary, for he had never seen the young fellow since the first morning.
He's here," returned the skipper, pointing significantly downwards. "Bring him out, Quilt." So saying, he pushed aside the table, and the janizary stooping down, undrew a bolt and opened a trap-door. "Come out!" roared Quilt, looking into the aperture. "You're wanted."
"You needn't gag me," he added, "I'll not cry out." "We won't trust you, my youngster," answered the janizary. And, thrusting a piece of iron into his mouth, he forced him out of the room. Sir Rowland witnessed these proceedings like one stupified. He neither attempted to prevent his nephew's departure, nor to follow him.
I was in the act of passing through this ditch when a bullet whizzed by close to my head. I saw no one, and had scarcely time to think when another was fired, some short distance in advance. I could yet see no one, the janizary was beneath the brow of the hill in his descent. I looked back, but my servant was not yet within sight.
