"Who can be overpowered."
"By whom?"
"You, I, if necessary. We walk about the ship as we please, so do a few of our sailors, who are kept at work. What's to prevent us from seizing the sentries posted near the magazine, and stabbing them to death?"
"You might leave the stabbing out."
"Certainly, if it's not necessary."
"Having got rid of the sentries, Manuel, what follows?"
"We enter the magazine."
"I suppose so; I'm still wandering in the dark."
"But surely you understand what will happen."
"I haven't the faintest idea."
