He had succeeded, it appears, in getting some of Selkirk's men to take the king's shilling, and now was trying to lead these men away from the ships as 'deserters from His Majesty's service. One day this trouble-maker brought his dinghy alongside one of the vessels.
But there's another fellow that I think would bear watching." "Who's that?" asked the boss. "I don't know his last name. They call him Gus and he's a 'cager. Fellow with a red face."

He knew if he went drilling through the Pullmans, some of the Passengers who had seen the Cartoons might recognize him as the notorious Malefactor.

"And that childish idea of one world is clung to by people who don't know the real world," retorted the trouble-maker.

I groped about, and stumbled over loose stones fallen from the castle wall, until at last one of our own Zeitoonli discovered me and, thinking I might be a trouble-maker, tripped me up.
