Lowington, his statement is incorrect. I have been on the best of terms with the majority of my pupils. Only a few of the worst of them have manifested any ill-will towards me." "Go on, Captain Kendall," said the principal. "I am prepared to prove all I say. If I had known that this investigation was to take place to-day, I should have asked for the attendance of several witnesses.
The earl acknowledged that his prediction had been fully verified. "You had a rough time, Shuffles," said the principal. "Rather, sir;" and the affair was discussed at length. "We have seen the town; but we cannot leave by train for Ulm till two this afternoon. If there is anything here you wish to see, you must improve your time," added Mr. Lowington. "What is there to be seen?"
Lowington," answered the professor, who was really delighted to obtain what was regarded as the senior professorship in the squadron; and it seemed quite fitting that the place should be given to him. "This is only a temporary arrangement," added the principal, desirous to prevent any misunderstanding in the future. This was not entirely satisfactory to Mr.
Lowington, when the boatswain and carpenter had "walked" the rebel aft, in spite of his struggling and kicking. "Irons!" gasped Shuffles, as he heard the request of the principal. He trembled with rage as he uttered the word. The irons seemed to pierce his soul. Probably he did not think that the son of a wealthy gentleman would be compelled to submit to such an indignity as being put in irons.
He felt that his late crony had been a traitor, and he was unable to take any higher view of the circumstances. "Wilton," said Mr. Lowington, when he met the runaway on deck, the day after the Fourth, "I told you that you had made a mistake. Do you believe it yet?" "I suppose I do, sir." "You suppose you do! Don't you know?"
Lowington and his policy had an able and zealous defender in the person of Paul Kendall, who, by his arguments, as well as his influence, had already reconciled several of the students to the new regulation. "If I were willing to grant the right of the principal to take the fellows' money from them which I am not I think it is treating them like babies to do so.
Lowington had procured the services of such an unsuitable instructor; but the fact was, that he had been engaged by the principal's agent on the strength of his classical attainments, rather than his fitness for the place. He had been so unpopular as a tutor and professor that no institution could long enjoy his services, valuable as they were in an intellectual point of view.
The learned gentleman stated his grievance in about the same terms as on the day before. "You say that a message was sent down to the captain. Do you know what that message was?" asked the principal. "I do not remember it precisely. It was something about a squall." "Very likely it was," answered Mr. Lowington, dryly. "There was a squall coming up at the time was there not?"
"I will not; I would jump overboard first. I am willing to be punished; I deserve it." "Shuffles, you have almost atoned for your errors by confessing them; and your courageous conduct, after you had pushed Pelham into the sea, proves that you sincerely repented that act. Shall I tell Mr. Lowington what you have said?"
Lowington again, who went to the line and called out the flag-officer and the two captains. "You are to be presented to the king; don't speak unless you are asked a question, and don't turn your back to him," said Mr. Lowington in a low tone.
