favorable. and, being well supplied with
food, the men suffered no great hardship.
One Of the Spanish. passengers grew
fractious and insisted that something
be done to relieve the situation. To
check any possibility Of trouble Seaman

into the Spaniard's face and warned him
that IL he did not keep quiet he would
blow his head off. The threat proved
effectual ands the prisoner was thence
forth mute.
