"Here, you, take these handcuffs off. At once, do you hear me?"

"Oh! Oh! Honorable Saki much frightened!" wailed the Jap.
"You contemptible yellow cur," snapped Ned, "brace up! Do you hear me? Come now, quick, the key."
The Jap actually managed to struggle to his feet and produce the key. Kenworth saw what he was doing.
"Stop that!" he yelled, and began to let go of the wheel. A shout from Ned brought him to his senses.
"You drop that wheel, and we'll all go to Davy Jones!" shouted Ned.
