bracelets on the captains wrists,
and dashed them tightly together

TIE captain was so dazed, or so
filled with wonder, that he offered
no resistance whatever; and not un.
til he was made absolutely secure
did he seem to realize what it
meant. Then he began to sputter
and threaten.

his hand on the shippers chest, an
action which forced the worthy
Macshiel on to the broad Of his
back. 'if l did the right thing by
you, should take you up and drop
you over the side, and the world
