The steward was troubled, and immediately hastened to the principal with the alarming intelligence. He found Mr. Lowington in the main cabin, and announced the discovery he had made. "It is a scheme to drive the ship back to port," added the principal, after he had satisfied himself, by questioning the steward, that the tanks had really been filled while the ship was in the dock.
"Do you mean a mutiny?" laughed Wilton. "Haven't you forgotten that?" "No." "I wonder what Lowington would say, if he knew I had proposed such a thing," added Shuffles, thoughtfully. "He did know it, at the time you captured the runaways, for I told him." "Did you?" demanded Shuffles, his brow contracting with anger. "I told you I would tell him, and I did," answered Wilton.
"What did the new captain do this afternoon, the very minute the crew were dismissed from their stations?" "I don't know. What did he do?" inquired Raymond, curiously. "Didn't he rush down into the main cabin? Didn't he have a long talk with Lowington? Then, wasn't the signal for sailing hoisted at once? I tell you this is all Shuffles's doings."
"You are right; then that must be Cape Cod." "Is it, really?" "Certainly it is," laughed Mr. Lowington. "Have you no faith in your map?" "I didn't think we could be anywhere near Cape Cod. I thought it was farther off," added Paul, who seemed to be amazed to think they had actually crossed Massachusetts Bay.
Topliffe and his assistants removed the blankets and comforters from this lock-up, and prepared it for the reception of the refractory pupil. When the room was ready he went on deck, and reported the fact to the principal. "Shuffles, our discipline has always been of the mildest character," said Mr. Lowington, breaking the impressive silence which reigned on deck.
Fluxion are on board of her." "Yes, sir; I didn't suppose any harm had come to her; but Mr. Lowington will naturally be very anxious about us. He has made us out by this time, and is satisfied that we are still on the top of the water. There are the steeples of a town," said Paul, pointing to the Walcheren shore. "That must be Middleburg." "This island was inundated in 1808," continued Mr.
Two months of constant practice had made tolerable seamen of them, and the discipline of the ship went on regularly. The young officers, as Mr. Lowington had promised, began to conduct the evolutions and give the orders.
Lowington, sternly. "Of course, if any one had been lost, I should have heard of it," answered Mr. Hamblin, who did not quite like the tone of the principal. "Then the officers and crew are all safe are they?" "They are, sir all safe." "Thank God!" ejaculated Mr. Lowington, heartily, an awfully heavy load removed from his mind.
Glasses were in demand, and the officers soon satisfied themselves that the sail ahead was the consort. It was evident that, hugging the wind closely, she had gone farther from the coast than the Young America. She took a pilot off Ushant, and continued on her course, though Mr. Lowington was anxious to communicate with her, and learn the result of the mutiny which had also prevailed on board.
What do you mean by that?" demanded the conspirator, startled by the words of the officer. "Suppose Mr. Lowington should ask me where I obtained my information," suggested Paul. "Didn't you see for yourself in No. 8?" "He might ask what led me to examine the matter so particularly.
