on the bottom of his bunk he felt the
outline of the pistols. If he had been
silent he might have blown the whole
thing, but he was a rvo little
chap, SO he gave a cry of surprise and
turned so pale that the man knew
what was up in an instant and seized
him. He was gagged before he could
give the alarm, and tied down upon
the bed. He had unlocked the door
that led to the deck, and we were
through it in a rush. The two sentries
were shot down, and SO was a corporal
who came running to see what was the
matter. There were two more soldiers
at the door of the stateroom, and their
muskets seemed not to be loaded, for
they fired upon us, and they
were shot while trying to fix their bay
onets. Then we rushed on into the cap
tain's cabin, but as we pushed open
the door there was an explosion from
within, and there he lay with his
brains smeared over the chart of the
Atlantic which was pinned upon the
table, while the chaplain stood with a
smoking pistol in his hand at his
elbow. The two mates had both been
seized by the crew, and the whole bust
ness seemed to be settled.
