The boat that had been coming up at the stern missed its mark, and ran in between the two ammunition boats.

"Listen," said Young Glory.
"Well?"
"I have a word to say."
"Don't let the traitor speak!"
"Be silent!" exclaimed the sergeant. "Well, what is it?"
"I will make terms with you."
"You make terms?"
"Yes. I have the best of the situation now."
