As the Russian government never said anything about the incident, the United States is still ignorant of the whereabouts of the lost poacher, nor has she ever heard, officially, of the way in which some of her citizens "shanghaied" five subjects of the tsar. Even nations have secrets sometimes.
Her business was finished within a few hours and when she made her adieu, Kate looked for Bowers to tell him that she was leaving for Prouty on a night train, presuming that he would wish to do likewise. But Bowers appeared to have vanished as entirely as though he had been shanghaied and was a hundred miles at sea.
He had been separated from his father, and while seeking him in Naples had been shanghaied aboard the schooner, and there he was, following a mutiny among the crew, as Jack found him. By some resourcefulness and not a little fighting, the lads overcame the crew and made their way back to Jack's home, taking the other prisoner with them.
It was easy to see that Franz's curious attitude of non-resistance had the mate puzzled what to do next. All the sailors indulged in furtive laughter. None of them had a very deep-rooted love for Miller, and, for the first time, they rather sympathised with the man who had been shanghaied ... some of them even snickered audibly ... and straightway grew intent on their work....
"This boat, son, is a threemasted schooner, name of Nancy Hanks, Master Joshua Green, bound for the Solomon Islands with a cargo of Oregon fir." "I've been shanghaied. This is a nest of crimps," the man screamed. Joshua Green's salient jaw came forward. "Been shanghaied, have you? And we're a nest of crimps, are we?

They put him down at last; and in half a dozen sentences Wilbur told them of how he had been shanghaied told them of Magdalena Bay, his fortune in the ambergris, and the fight with the beach-combers. "You people are going down there for target-practice, aren't you?" he said, turning to one of the "Monterey's" officers in the crowd about him. "Yes?
It was intended to make the whole Navy think the Pollard boat one that couldn't be depended upon?" "That was the idea," assented Sam Truax, weakly. "What sort of a looking fellow is Tip Gaynor?" asked Jack. "You've met him!" "I?" demanded Jack, in astonishment. "Yes. From what I hear. He was the blackbearded man who drugged you and shanghaied you in the white knockabout.
And last, and chiefly, there was the man with the scar, he who called himself 'Newman, man of mystery, who came like the fabled knight, killed the beast who held the princess captive, and led her out of bondage. And I helped him; and saw the shanghaied parson marry them, there on the bloody deck. "Stuff for a yarn eh? But just life, and living. By George, it was mighty strenuous living, too!
"I mean that, as soon as I came out of my drunk, and found myself shanghaied, I wanted them to ill-treat me ... there's a Sailors' Aid Society at Sydney, you know!" "What good will the Sailors' Aid Society do you?" "You just wait and see what good it will do me!" "Nonsense, Franz! The captain's willing to pay you off at Sydney." "Pay me off, eh?
Well, we've shanghaied the whole business for a dance here to-morrow night! Music! Flowers! Palms! Catering! Everything! It's going to be the biggest little dancing party that this slice of North American scenery ever saw! And " Slowly little Eve Edgarton lifted her great solemn eyes to the newcomer's face. "A party?" she drawled. "A a dancing party you mean? A real Christian dancing party?"
