Charley Loughran and Willi Schallenmacher had gone up to the ship on one of the landing craft; they accompanied the landing party that went down into the mountains. Ayesha Keithley arrived late in the afternoon on another landing craft, with five or six tons of instruments and parts and equipment, and a male Navy warrant-officer helper.
This Marcel Masséna, whom I met in 1800, when he was commandant of the fortress at Antibes, was a serious and capable man, highly thought of by his Colonel, M. Chauvet d'Arlon. To help his nephew, he had him taught to speak and write reasonable French, and, in spite of some escapades, had him promoted to the rank of warrant-officer.
We never heard anything more of him... I broke the warrant-officer for being so careless, but he soon regained his rank, by an act of bravery which I shall describe shortly. The squadrons which I had recently added to the regiment, brought its strength up to 993 men, of whom almost 700 had fought in the Russian campaign.
"Then this way, please," said the inspector, who had evidently decided from Nekhludoff's appearance that he deserved attention. "Sidoroff!" he turned to a warrant-officer wearing a mustache, and medals on his breast. "Show this gentleman to the women's ward." "All right, sir." At that moment heart-rending cries came from the direction of the grating.
As a warrant-officer I fear I should be quite out of place. I have had so much liberty, and have been, so to speak, my own master for so long " "That you think you would find the discipline irksome?" interrupted the Admiral. "My dear boy, I have no doubt you would, and nobody but a fool would ever think of spoiling a fine, dashing, young fellow like yourself by attempting any such transformation.
I have therefore made my will, and left the very small property I possess to Jessie; but most of my income, as the widow of a warrant-officer killed in action, ceases at my death, so that as a single woman she would be but poorly off, though she will have something to help keep house." "I would as willingly marry her if she had not a sixpence," exclaimed Ralph, warmly.
"They've made us out no fear on that score," cried Jerry; "I saw the people on the foc's'le waving to us." As he spoke, the brig shortened sail; a boat was lowered, and, ere a minute had passed, she sheered alongside the canoe. A midshipman and warrant-officer, with four hands, were in her. "Bear a hand; lift the poor fellows on board carefully sharp about it," cried the former.
The prisoners were soon removed from the prize, with the exception of a Dane and a Dutchman, who volunteered to remain in her; while Paul took with him True Blue, Tom Marline, Harry Hartland, Tim Fid, and three other hands. Paul had, since he became a warrant-officer, been studying navigation, and was able to take an observation, and to do a day's work very correctly.
But not very long was she left in doubt. "How long you have been! And oh, where have you been? And how much longer will you be?" Among many other words and doings she insisted chiefly on these points. "I am a true-blue, as you may see, and a warrant-officer already," he said, with his old way of smiling at himself. I am quite fit already to command a frigate."
"No Robin, so please you, but Mr. James Blyth, captain of the foretop, then cockswain of the barge, and now master's mate of H. M. ship of the line Belleisle. But the one who should have trusted me, next to my own love, is my father, Sir Duncan Yordas." "How you are talking! You have such a reckless way. A warrant-officer, an arrant criminal!
