Chapter VI
"Surrender yourselves," cried Bart, fiercely. "Lay down them guns." "Surrender, or we fire," cried the sailor again, as the two men slowly backed toward the boat, watchful of a rush being made. Bart uttered a low, defiant growl, and the bamboo he held quivered in his knotted hands. "All together, then, mates," shouted the sailor, "_fire_!"
