Suddenly the second mate, son of the commander, heard his father call out, 'Take hold of the wheel, and going forward, saw him holding a sailor at arm's length. The mutineer was soon lodged in the cockpit; but all hands the watch below and the watch on deck came aft as if obeying a signal, with threatening faces and clenched fists.
Terrapin, he gave 'em, an' croakeets, an' he'd use forty chickens to make a broth he called consommay. An' he got rich, and Philadelphia got well known, an' Delmonico in New York he got jealous. He was the cook that had the say-so in New York." "Was Delmonico one of them I-talians?" inquired a fascinated mutineer. "I don't know. But he acted like one. Lorenzo was his front name. He aimed to cut "
Foreseeing that the time had arrived for actual physical force, the cowards capitulated, agreeing to give up their arms and ammunition if I would give them their written discharge. 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.
I had to shoot quick and straight to show them I meant what I said." "Is he dead?" asked Isobel, with a contemptuous coolness as to the fate of the mutineer which Courtenay found admirable. "Not a bit of it. Fired at his legs. Only a flesh wound, I fancy." "Poor wretch!" murmured Elsie. "Was there no other way?" "There is only one way of dealing with that sort of skunk," was the gruff answer.
Is a civil mutineer, and as all mutinies for the most part are for pay, if it were not for that he would never trouble himself with it. His business is to kindle and blow up discontents against the Government, that, when they are inflamed, he may have the fairer opportunity to rob and plunder, while those that are concerned are employed in quenching it.
Now, it happened that the mutineer, Higson, had managed to win over six of the men to assist him in escaping from the ship. At his suggestion a log had been thrown into the water, and the cry was raised that a man was overboard. This done, he had no great difficulty in leaving the ship. While in harbour he had had frequent communications with various persons disaffected to the Government.
"For a moment the exhausted mutineer made a tremulous motion of his cramped jaws, and then painfully twisting round his head, said in a sort of hiss, 'What I say is this and mind it well if you flog me, I murder you! "'Say ye so? then see how ye frighten me' and the Captain drew off with the rope to strike. "'Best not, hissed the Lakeman.
I had looked on him as so much baggage the impedimenta of the retreating army. And, behold, a mutineer! I took him by the scruff of the neck and shook him. It was a relief to my feelings and a sound move. The argument was one which he understood. 'Oh, all right, he said. 'Anything you like. Come on. But it sounds to me like darned foolishness!
On the evening of May 11, 1857, about fifty foreigners, all unarmed civilians, were brought into the palace at Delhi, and by order of Bahander Shah, the Mogul whom the mutineer leaders had proclaimed Emperor of India, were thrust into a dungeon, starved for five days and then hacked to pieces in the beautiful courtyard.
When a man like Ferens, on the one hand, and the mutineer whose fingers had been mutilated by Dyck in the Channel, on the other when these agreed to bend themselves to the rule of a usurper, some idea of Calhoun's power may be got. On this day, with the glimmer of land in the far distance, the charges of all the guns were renewed.
