He touched an electric bell push, attached to the table, as he spoke. "And your soundings?" asked she. "They can wait for some other time or some other man, sea depths are pretty constant." A quarter-master appeared at the saloon door, came forward and saluted. "Ask Captain Lepine to come aft," said the Prince. "I wish to speak to him." "Wait," said Mademoiselle Bromsart. Then to her host. "No.
The roar of loud laughter that followed Tom's device was renewed again and again, till not a man could speak from absolute fatigue. There was not a dissentient voice. Old Ridgeway was hated in the corps, and a better way of disposing of the priest and paying off the quarter-master could not be thought of.
The activity of Mr Bruce, the boatswain, was deserving of the highest encomiums; and it would be an act of injustice not to notice the zeal of Mr Bile, the carpenter, and Mr Sponge, gunner of the ship. James Anderson, quarter-master, received a severe contusion, but is now doing well; I trust I shall not be considered presumptuous in recommending him to a boatswain's warrant.
The success of Low was unequalled, as well as his cruelty; and during a long period he continued to pursue his wicked course with impunity. All wickedness comes to an end and Low's crew at last rose against him and he was thrown into a boat without provisions and abandoned to his fate. This was because Low murdered the quarter-master while he lay asleep.
At dinner in the gun-room, his arrogance knew no bounds; and when half drunk, my three men were magnified into a well manned brig, as full of men and guns as she could stuff!

I was considerably bruised, and, before I got to the midshipmen's berth, two marines seized me and dragged me again to the quarter-deck. Once more I stood before my angry persecutor, looking hate and defiance. "To the mast-head, sir, immediately." "I will not. I consider myself a prisoner." "You refuse to go?" "I do." "Quarter-master, the signal halyards. Sling Mr Rattlin." Mr Rattlin was slung.
As the Araucanians had recovered most of the spoil, and taken some prisoners while the Spanish army was in disorder, the toqui did not think proper to risk too much on the event of battle, and sounded a retreat. On his return to Conception, the governor was rejoined by the serjeant-major and quarter-master.
The teamster who was killed the day previous was buried this day. Tuesday, April 28th. Had orders to hold ourselves ready to move at any moment. Considerable Rebel cavalry were daily seen hovering around our lines. Nothing very serious apprehended. Thursday, April 30th. Regular two month's muster for pay. Our tents were also turned over to the Quarter-Master.
As to the quarter-master, old Jennings, whose boy you remember we picked up at the Roman camp, he had not forgotten that, and when we were shaking hands and wishing good-bye, he leaped up, and vowed 'he would never leave the young gentleman that had befriended his boy, to be eaten up by them black savage niggers.
