Shuffles called me when I was passing, and wished me to tell you he wanted to see you very much. I was just going after you, sir." "If there is any blame, sir, it rests on me," interposed Shuffles, through the bars of his prison. Mr. Lowington unlocked the door of the brig, and entered, followed by Mr. Agneau, leaving Wilton to congratulate himself on the result of the lies he had uttered.
"He certainly did not seem to be intoxicated." "Probably he had taken just enough to inflame his evil passions, without affecting his manner," suggested the chaplain. "I did not even discover the odor of wine upon him." "Perhaps you did not go near enough to him. If you please, Mr. Lowington, we will go down and see him; and you can judge for yourself whether or not it is prudent to release him."
Little explained the views of Howe, which he had adopted as his own, to the effect that the more mischief they made, the better would be their chances of joining the excursion to Germany. Greenway was foolish enough to take the same view of the question. If the vice-principal was obliged to go away, Mr. Lowington would not dare to leave the runaways with any other person.
Lowington, he intended to tell him all about the plan for a mutiny, and he was fully satisfied that Shuffles would be sent in disgrace from his pleasant position in the after cabin, to take up his abode in the steerage again. On the morning of the ever-glorious Fourth, all hands were mustered on the deck of the Young America at four o'clock.
Wilton sat in the berth, while his companions occupied stools outside and their heads were close together. Mr. Lowington took Adler by the collar of his frock with one hand, and Sanborn with the other, just as Wilton had thrown the props upon the bed. With a vigorous jerk, he tossed them back upon the floor, so as to obtain a full view of the stakes and the gambling implements.
By this time the crew were all thorough seamen, and had made excellent progress in their studies. Mr. Lowington was entirely satisfied with the success of his experiment, and was resolved to persevere in it. The boys were in splendid discipline, and there had not been a case of serious illness on board during the year.
He told me that the boy should be sent to the ship. He appeared to be utterly wanting in judgment, though, up to this time, I had remonstrated only in the mildest terms. He informed me, in the most offensive manner, that he was the captain of the vessel." At this point Mr. Lowington bit his lips, to repress a smile which was involuntarily manifesting itself on his face.
"I was writing a letter which I intended to copy with ink, as soon as I had time." "Have you the rest of the letter?" "No, sir; I tore it up just now." "Will you be kind enough to produce your uncle's letter?" said the principal, quietly. "I don't keep my letters, sir; and I destroyed it as soon as I had read it." "I suppose you did," replied Mr. Lowington, significantly.
Lowington at last discovered that Paul was waiting for him, and the difficult subject was deferred. The captain of the Josephine went below with the principal, and the conspirators began to discuss in a very unguarded manner the process of keelhauling the obnoxious professor. As the learned gentleman passed the group, he could not help hearing his name mentioned.
A fellow is a fool to burn his own ship at sea." "Of course it won't burn up; but it will bring Lowington down here, and he will find out we are somebody." "Nonsense!" "But I mean it." "No, you don't! It is all buncombe." "You wait and see if it is. If I can only bring Lowington down here, and see him scared out of his wits, I shall be satisfied.
