"Do you take part with the students, Mr. Stoute?" snapped the angry savant. The good-natured instructor concluded that it would be useless for him to say anything while his associate continued in such an unhappy frame of mind; and he condemned himself to silence for the present. It was plain enough to him that the crew of the Josephine were in a state of mutiny, so far as Mr.
"Impossible!" exclaimed Mr. Stoute, seizing the note, and examining more attentively than he had done before the writing it contained. It did look like Paul's writing. It was his style, and there were not more than two students in the Josephine who could have composed the French in the document. Those two were Paul and Duncan. But Mr.
"There is a true and a false dignity, Mr. Hamblin. I shall endeavor to avoid the one, and cling to the other," replied Mr. Stoute, warmly, but good-naturedly. "You are aware that I asked for the gig before I started for the ship?" continued Mr. Hamblin, impressively. "I am; and I was also aware that the first cutter had been appropriated to the use of the instructors." "I demanded the gig.
Hamblin, with something like a shudder; "and all the crew gave three cheers for Captain Kendall!" "I could hardly resist the temptation to join with them in giving the cheers," replied Mr. Stoute, consolingly. "The conduct of Captain Kendall filled me with admiration." "Mr. Stoute, do you consider that a proper remark to make to me?"

If he chooses to sustain the delinquent in such gross misconduct, I will leave the vessel at the first port we enter." "Mr. Lowington will certainly do justice to both of you."

One of the officials in charge of the party volunteered to conduct them to the apartment of the distinguished revolutionist. "You must come with me, Mr. Stoute," said the professor of Greek. "If it turns out that Mr. Rogier don't speak English, I should be in an unfortunate dilemma." "I will go with you with pleasure," laughed Mr. Stoute, who was rather desirous of witnessing the interview.
The captain and the executive officer were holding on at one of the life-lines on the quarter-deck. Paul looked as noble and commanding as though he had been a foot taller, with a full beard grown upon his face. He appeared to be master of the situation, and Professor Stoute regarded him with an admiration strongly in contrast with the disgust of his fellow-teacher.
