To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Instinct at once showed me my danger. To draw my pistol from under my pillow was the work of a second ; to fire it into the body of the man who was trying to stab me, that of another. A groan and a heavy fall on the deck told me what had happened, and springing out of my sleep- ing berth I found my ci-devant friend the captain lying on his face, dead as a door nail. In the mean- time I heard a row in the fore-parf of the ship. LOVE AND MURDER 85 On going forward I saw one of the prisoners in th...e act of falling overboard, and another extended full length on the deck, while my stalwart quarter- master was flourishing a handspike with which he had knocked one of his assailants overboard and floored the other. Now it will be asked what was the man at the wheel doing? Hereby hangs a tale. He swore that he heard or saw nothing. Considering this sufficient evidence of his guilt, I put him in irons. Shortly afterwards he confessed the whole story. It seems that a conspiracy had been planned among the prisoners to retake the ship — that the man at the wheel had been bribed to let free two of the prisoners, under promise of a large reward if the result had been the retaking of the ship.
