Certain references to the pugs put her on the lookout and she and the other women watched me; one of the brutes littered that night; I couldn't resist the temptation, and so fed the whole batch, mother and all, to the lion; in a minute had four furious women afoul of me, biting and clawing; sung out for help, and Shem and Japheth bore down and rescued me; Ham helped the women and made a majority for them; his mother had the jug, that's why; managed to floor him with a pump-brake, but they were still too many for us and chased us around decks till they got tired and sat down to cry; got to my room and began writing them down in the log when they started in again; my wife smashed the whiskey jug over my head then we all escaped on deck and went aloft; couldn't follow us, but sat down and said things Had a council of war, then Shem shinned over to the foremast and cut away all the jib halliards and sheets and halliards on the fore Ark had broached to in trough sea when Japheth left the wheel to help me, and had laid there with yards square and rolling considerable; women could stand that motion, but not a head sea, so now when she came up to the wind and began pounding up and down and drifting astern, they got qualmish and in twenty minutes were sprawled out helpless; Ham didn't know enough to take the wheel and throw her off, so we came down, tied the women hand and foot, and then went for Ham; triced him up and rope's-ended him till his nose bled; begged and howled, but had to take it and learn that mutiny is unsafe aboard my ship Kept her head to the sea till we had spliced and rove off the gear, then set canvas and squared away again Women got better; read the articles to them; were penitent and promised to behave, but before turning them loose we went on a pug hunt and passed two of them in to the lion; only one left now, but we haven't found it yet; women howled a good deal and called us heartless, cruel fiends that's all right.
It was at a time when Elisha could not stand up at the wheel, when Amos at the engines could not have reversed them, when Martin man of iron staggered weakly around among the rest and struck them with a pump-brake, keeping them at work.
"Lend a hand on this pump. I'll deal with your case when we get up." "What must I do?" asked Foster, plaintively, as he turned his face, an ashy green now, toward Ross. "Pump," yelled Ross, in his ear. "Pump till you break your back if necessary. Ship that brake." He handed Foster his pump-brake, and they shipped them in the hand-pump.
