"Outsiders and insiders as well; our wives fer instance." Scraff had a mental vision of a certain woman objecting strenuously to the part he hoped personally to play in the giving. He caught his breath and stood with lifted face, as the white light swept it, lingered on it, drew from it reluctantly. Mr Lawrence's business on board the Minorca did not keep him long. He was primarily there to see to the arrangements of his own cabin, and also of another cabin aft which it was his design to convert into a sick-bay. This end was chiefly accomplished in this cabin by the rough construction of a couple of bunks. "That will be mutiny. To refuse an order aboard ship is mutiny. In the Navy we hang men for that sort of conduct.".
