"That will be mutiny. To refuse an order aboard ship is mutiny. In the Navy we hang men for that sort of conduct." "This man Greyquill has managed to clap the thumb-screw of debt upon the hands of a pretty good few in our district," said Captain Acton. "But what's the use of locking up a man who owes you money? Leave him at large and you stand to be repaid; but flinging a man into a debtor's gaol, not because he won't pay, but because he can't pay, seems to me folly as monstrous as locking up a man because being unable to obtain work his wife and children come upon the parish. Look at the cost you put the country to on this account! There is the expense of the maintenance of the man in gaol, and there is the expense of the maintenance of the wife and children on the parish. Now, by leaving the man at large you give him the chance of obtaining a day's work." "It don't seem right to wake boys up just to give 'em a whalin', Mary," he protested.

"You have been half-starved in that brig," said Captain Acton, searching his daughter's face, and running his eyes over her dress. "Suppose she carries no surgeon?" said Mr Pierpoint. "Fer goodness sake, Ma, don't touch that gold! It's bewitched, I tell you!" Mrs. Keeler broke in. "Anson, humph! Why, that boy had the nerve to say that I should give him ten cents fer watchin' the kettle while them two dear boys was out in the storm, huntin' fer Pa's sow. I give him a box on the ear instead an' sent him home on the jump. Maybe I was a bit hasty but I was mad after havin' to give that old Caleb Spencer a piece of my mind fer sendin' me sawdust instead of groceries. I guess he won't try that ag'in.".
