"I am glad of the accident that brought me on deck somewhat earlier than was necessary," she said. "You and I have not said much to each other since you routed me out of the lazaretto, Mr. Hozier." "Our friends at table are somewhat difficult. If only you knew how I regretted " "Oh, what of that? When I became a stowaway I fully expected to be treated as one.
I didn't know that he was here." "Who is he?" Dane asked. "And where did he come from?" "He is Seth Lupin, a man I hate and fear. He must have come on one of the other vessels, most likely as a stowaway. He is not a Loyalist, for he was a coward during the war, and has no right to be numbered among us.
The Englishman's eyes pierced into his fellow-countryman like a drill. "Don't lie to me." The cook had recourse to a large bandanna handkerchief to mop away his perspiration. "If you mean the stowaway, sir, Hi met 'im just before we reached Los Angeles." "How many of the crew are with him in this mutiny?" "Mutiny, sir?" "I don't mince words. How many?" "There you 'ave me, sir.
If I'm caught I shall get dreadful usage and will be taken back and put in jail." "Oh, you're mistaken. The officers are all courteous gentlemen." "Yes, to you cabin passengers they are. But to a stowaway that's a different matter. If you can't help me, sir, please don't inform on me." "How can I help you but by speaking to the captain or purser?" "Get me a morsel to eat." "Where were you hid?"
A knock came to the door. Clare said, "Come in." The quartermaster entered. Instead of sir Harry, he saw the miserable stowaway, seated in the captain's own chair. He swore at him, and ordered him out, prepared to give him a kick as he passed. "Out with you!" he cried. "Go for'ard. Tell the bo's'n to look out a rope's end. I'll be after you."
A Med Ship man was not ever expected to fight, but there were blast-rifles available for extreme emergency. When he'd slung a power-pack over his shoulder and reached the airlock, there was still no sign of his late stowaway. He stood in the airlock door for long minutes, staring angrily about. Almost certainly she wouldn't be looking in the mountains for men of Dara come here for cattle.
I don't think any more people will come prospecting out here." "Have you heard of the arrival of Farley Munson?" asked Tom, as he related the facts about the stowaway. "He hadn't arrived up to a day or so ago," answered Bill. "I guess he's still traveling. Farley is one of the heads of the gang," he added, "and a dangerous man."
It was voted a wonderfully touching performance, and he called it "The Stowaway." "O Mother-nature, kind in touch and tone. Act as we may, thou clearest to thine own" I don't know that I should tell this story. When the purser related it to me I know it was his intention to write it out for a magazine.
But this part of the daily work was the only one which was distasteful to the men. "You see, Mr Mark, sir, it's like this here," said Billy. "Me and my monkey's as happy here as the day's long, and so's my mates; for now, as Mr Morgan and Stowaway Jimpny and t'other chap's strong as horses again, what we says is this here, what call is there for us to want to get back to London town?"
"We don't take passengers." "I am here against my will," said Captain Nu-gent, "and I demand the treatment due to my position." "If I had treated you properly," said Captain Hardy, "I should have put you in irons for knocking down my second officer. I know nothing about you or your position. You're a stowaway, and you must do the best you can in the circumstances."
