"No doubt of it, sir."
"Any more lost?"
We did not notice it till a few minutes later, but little Jimmie Welch was missing. None of us was seriously wounded in the scrimmage, though nearly all had marks to show. Even Philips had a testimonial of valor in the form of a badly swollen eye.
"They've suffered more than we have. Check up, my men. Mack, dead or badly wounded, shot by Dugan. Can you name any, Alderson?"
"Only Sutton, sir, that you killed out here. There was a man lying on the bridge when we got there. Don't know who, sir."
"Tot Dennis," answered Blythe, who had cut him down at the same time when I disposed of the boatswain.
I mentioned Caine.
"Didn't you finish another in the wheelhouse, Jack?"
"I didn't. You did."
The captain shook his head.
