"Captain Pillgrim's, sir?"
"Impossible!"
"I beg your pardon, sir, but the captain told me to lose no time. He is going to sea at once."
"Is Captain Pillgrim on board?"
"Of course he is. I just came off with him. He ordered me to arrest you."
"Who are you, sir?"
"Blarney, sir!" exclaimed the boatswain, impatiently; "I can't stop—"
"Mr. Blarney, will you do me the favor to ask Captain Pillgrim for a moment's conversation with me. There must be some mistake, Mr. Blarney."
"Can't stop, sir," answered Tom, who could not even pause long enough to laugh at the rebel's blunder. "My orders are to put you in irons if you resist. What do you say, Mr. Langdon?"
"Of course I do not resist; but there is some mistake."
