"Silenceo!" cried Lieutenant Drascalo quickly. "Dogs of Americans, do you wish to insult us?" "Impossible; you wouldn't appreciate a good, genuine United States insult," murmured Tom under his breath. "What I mean," went on the captain, "is that these people may carry the proceedings off with a high hand. You heard the admiral speak of a court-martial." "Would they dare do that?" inquired Mr.
"Bless my spark plug! He's a regular fire-eater!" went on Mr. Damon, who appeared to have fully recovered his spirits. "Silenceo!" cried the lieutenant, scowling again, but Mr. Damon did not appear to mind. Admiral Fanchetti and several others of the gold-laced officers remained aboard the submarine, while Tom and his friends were hustled into the small boat and rowed toward the warship.
"I find you guilty, and the sentence of this court-martial is that you be shot at sunrise, three days hence!" "Shot!" cried Captain Weston, staggering back at this unexpected sentence. His companions turned white, and Mr. Swift leaned against his son for support. "Bless my stars! Of all the scoundrelly!" began Mr. Damon. "Silenceo!" shouted the lieutenant, waving his sword.
"And guard them well, Lieutenant Drascalo, for I heard them plotting to escape," and the admiral signaled to a younger officer, who was in charge of the men guarding the prisoners. "Lieutenant Drascalo, eh?" murmured Mr. Damon. "I think they made a mistake naming him. It ought to be Rascalo. He looks like a rascal." "Silenceo!" exclaimed the lieutenant, scowling at the odd character'.
"Have some sort of a court-martial, perhaps," went on the captain, "and confiscate our craft Then they will send us back home, I expect for they would not dare harm us." "But take our submarine!" cried Tom. "The villains " "Silenceo!" shouted Lieutenant Drascalo and he drew his sword.
To be shot! Why, that's a terrible threat! The villains " "Silenceo!" shouted Lieutenant Drascalo, coming up at that moment. The Escape Events had happened so quickly that day that the gold-hunters could scarcely comprehend them. It seemed only a short time since Mr.
Captain Weston leaped forward, and with a terrific blow sent Lieutenant Drascalo to the deck. "There!" cried the sailor. "I guess you won't yell 'Silenceo! for a while now." There was a rush of Brazilians toward the group of prisoners. Tom caught one with a blow on the chin, and felled him, while Captain Weston disposed of two more, and Mr. Sharp and Mr. Damon one each.
But I take it you are acting privately, for you fly no flag, though you claim to be from the United States." "There's no place for a flag on the submarine," went on Tom. "What good would it be under water?" "Silenceo!" cried Lieutenant Drascalo, the admonition to silence seeming to be the only command of which he was capable.
