218 RUNNING THE BLOCKADE. " What's the row ? " asked a familiar voice, as a head was protruded through the open cabin door. It was my old friend. Colonel Rhett, with Avhom I had. a long score to settle. The treacherous scoundrel had come on board with the master, but for what purpose I was at a loss to understand. " What's the row ? " repeated the colonel, stepping on deck. He could not see us distinctly, on account of the dark- ness, and also because he had just come from the light. In asking ...the question, he put his face close to mine, as though determined to see who I was. It was not my purpose that the man should see me on board the Spit- fire ; so, to prevent it in a measure, I just hit him on one of his eyes ; and down he went, all in a heap. " jNIurder I " j-elled the old villain. " Mutiny ! murder ! " We soon had tlie fellow's mouth stuffed with oakum, and his hands secured behind his back ; and we were none too quick in doing the work ; for hardly had we stowed away our prisoners in the cabin, than we heard the long, steady strokes of men-of-war as they dipped their oars in the Avater, and urged a cutter over the h-dj.
