Who commands this float? inquired Lieutenant Wallace.
I do, replied Cahoonshee. What is your wish?
We have orders to bring you on board of the ship.
By whose orders?
By the orders of Captain Davis.
Captain Davis shall be obeyed, said Cahoonshee.
Then hand in your guns and consider yourselves prisoners for the present.
The guns and other articles were placed in the boat. Cahoonshee stepped on board and was conducted to the stern. The Quicks were seated at mid-ship, and Drake at the bow.
I think that we have met before, said Cahoonshee to Lieutenant Powers.
