Darius cried out in my ear; but I heard him not, I was insane with the scene of carnage[Frontispiece]
PAGE
"Pass up your painter, or I'll shoot!" Cried Darius[56]
With the lantern in my left hand I thrust forward the barrel of my musket full in the face of the miller[72]
"I remember your face, my man;" said the Commodore. "Come aboard at once." [153]
As we pulled away I glanced back at our fleet and saw that the vessels were well on fire[233]
As soon as the line was made fast, a man slipped down, quickly followed by another[335]
