"I don't intend to let them see me. I think I can manage the matter, sir."
"Well, Grant, your plan will harmonize with mine. I intend to punish these mutineers, as they foolishly call themselves, in a novel way; and I have already made my arrangements to do so. But you shall carry out your scheme first."
"I should be very glad to do so, and I am confident that I shall succeed."
"You shall try it, at all events."
"Will you let Bailey go with me?" asked Richard.
"No; I do not wish to expose him to danger. You can take care of yourself, it appears, if you get into trouble. Do you want some one with you?"
"I think it would be better."
"Mr. Gault shall accompany you, but you shall manage the matter yourself."
"Very well, sir. What shall I do for a boat?"
"You shall have one of the pontoon boats. It will be better than a skiff."
