Chapter XIV
PEGGY SIMMS "Caught with the goods!" said Lund. "Two tries at mutiny in one day, my lads. You want to git it into your boneheads that I'm runnin' this ship from now on. I can sail it without ye and, by God, I'll set the bunch of ye ashore same's you figgered on doin' with me if you don't sit up an' take notice! The rifles an' guns"--he glanced at the orderly display of weapons in racks on the wall--"are too vallyble to chuck over, but here go the shells, ev'ry last one of them.
