Trahern, indignant at the audacity of the pirates, which bordered on insolence, ordered his men to fire on them. His gunners replied that the cannon were wet. "That is a lie," shouted Trahern, "they are under cover. Take your weapons and crush these bold dogs." "What?" shrieked Philip, "are these mortal men whom we can fight and kill? Did any one ever see a devil die? I'll fight with no fiends."
Thus Hal had two men to look after the motors and other machinery under his direction, leaving Eph at Jack's more personal orders. "The lieutenant commander sends you word, with his compliments," reported Ensign Trahern, "that, after leaving the bay, the formation will be as usual.
Every man had his hands full; in the midst stood Captain Trahern; the boldest of the crew were in the rigging, trying to secure the sails; others were attempting to rig a jury mast in place of one which had been carried away. Another group toiled at the pumps, and four men were at the helm, straining every muscle whenever a wave stronger than usual dashed against the bow of the ship.
It afterwards turned out that nearly two-score seafaring men had been robbed by the mulatto by the same game that had been played on Jack Benson. One forenoon when Jack, and his mates were about to go ashore, for good, from the "Farnum," Lieutenant Commander Mayhew came on board, followed by Ensign Trahern and three of the midshipmen who had been under submarine instruction. "Now, Mr.
She does not heed the shock of the waves, but flies like a bird." "That is no spectre ship," the captain repeated, "they are pirates." "Living devils," muttered Philip. "It must be Barthelemy," said Trahern. "What a pity that we cannot approach him, we would capture him at once. But who could fight in such a storm?" The pirate swiftly approached the King Solomon.
Ensign Trahern also shook hands with young Benson. "And now," went on the commander of the "Hudson," "I think you may as well show us the way into the harbor." "You'll want to go at little more than headway, sir," Jack replied. "The harbor is small, though there's enough deep water for you. In parts there are some sand ledges that the tide washes up."
"What I said, or intended to say, was to bring your vessel so that the forward end of the submarine shed over there would be four points off the port bow." "What did you hear Mr. Benson say, Mr. Trahern?" demanded the gunboat's commander, turning to the ensign who had stood with him on the bridge. "Why, sir, I understood the lad to say what he states that he said." "You are sure of that, Mr.
“The lieutenant commander sends word, with his compliments,” reported Trahern, “that after leaving the bay the formation will be as usual. The signal to halt and be ready for the tour of instruction will be given when we’re about ten miles off shore.” Six of the cadets, of the engineer division, went below to the engine room.
He flung down his arms as he spoke. "Nor I, nor I!" shouted the rest of the crew, firing their weapons in the air and then throwing them down. Trahern found himself abandoned. "And you will disgrace yourselves by surrendering to a force ten times smaller! Men! Come to your senses, these are no ghosts."
In another moment a pallor had succeeded the red in his face. He was blamed for the disaster, and he was not really at fault. Yet, under the rebuke he had just received, he did not feel it his place to retort further for the present. Mr. Mayhew and Mr. Trahern conferred in low tones for a moment or two.
