Mutineer comes by boat to-night, but won't be here till noon." "Yes. I've one chap up to your weight, I think." "I don't like dodgers," said Leonore, the corners of her mouth drawn down. "I was not dodging," said Peter. "I only was asking a preliminary question. If you will get up, before breakfast, and ride with me, I will tell you everything that actually occurred at that dinner.
"Land unmistakably land!" exclaimed Ned, shading his eyes with his hand to get a clearer view. "And do you know how far the ship has run during the night?" angrily demanded the mutineer. "Not far, I should think; perhaps fifty or sixty miles," replied Ned, glancing aloft and away toward the horizon to note the appearance of sea and sky.
I disarmed them immediately, and the vakeel having written a discharge for the fifteen men present, I wrote upon each paper the word "mutineer" above my signature. None of them being able to read, and this being written in English, they unconsciously carried the evidence of their own guilt, which I resolved to punish should I ever find them on my return to Khartoum.
It was thirty feet to the bottom of any one of these empty tanks, and those who followed did so at creeping speed. He was clear of the mob. A light bound and he was on the ship's rail beside the after-rigging. The captain, leaning as far out as the chart deck would allow, shook a raging arm at Kieran. "You'll assault, you'll batter my men right and left, will you, you crazy mutineer?"

"It's a ghost!" yelled Trent, no less frightened than the others, but more voluble. "It's Sanders been an' boarded us!"
Ryan sat at the table with them as they ate, and repeated his fiction regarding the accident to his chief officer, at which the planter politely expressed his concern. Then the mutineer, in a casual sort of a way, asked Raymond if there had been any English or American war-ships cruising about Samoa lately.
Such was the exterior appearance of the man who was to change both my life and that of others, Jose Leirya, murderer and galley-slave, then mutineer, and, lastly, pirate and villain of villains, slayer of hundreds of innocent folk, slave-dealer, incendiary, and bloodthirsty monster, for whom no death is bad enough.
Caldwell to consider him as a mutineer, and treat him accordingly. If any man attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot." This despatch was intercepted by the Confederates, and the cutter was surrendered.
"Certainly," interrupted the mutineer, who little imagined how adroitly he was being meshed. "I'll pay anything reasonable. Who is he?" "Oh, he is a big chief living quite near me, and a decent enough fellow. He has a number of large native-built boats. Five, or even four such boats, well manned, would make the ship move along.
For a moment Number Three stood watching the battle, and then he too sprang in to aid his fellow mutineer. Number Thirteen was striking heavy blows with his giant hands upon the face and head of his antagonist, while the long, uneven fangs of the latter had found his breast and neck a half dozen times. Blood covered them both.
