wdp7 15 "Who are the other prisoners?" demanded Corny, as though he had a right to know. Christy was a passenger on board of the Vernon, and he had nothing to do. The commanding officer appeared to be engaged in the details of his duty, though the steamer was in charge of a pilot. He could see from his shoulder straps that he was an ensign, and the officers in the waist and on the forecastle were of the same rank. If there were any other passengers on board of the vessel who were commissioned officers, they were not visible on the deck, though they might be in their staterooms, arranging their affairs for the voyage. wdp7 15 . The commander of the Bronx had explained his plan to the first lieutenant. There was nothing especially perilous in the expedition to be sent out; and it was the policy of Christy to keep the steamer out of sight of the fort, and of those in the immediate vicinity of it. After the Bronx had been on her course about two hours, and four bells had just struck, the leadsman reported two fathoms. A little later eleven feet was the depth. Mr. Pennant had some doubts about the correctness of the important information he had obtained, but he was at a loss to know how to verify it. It was a matter of course that sentinels patrolled the vicinity of the fort, or at least the principal approach to it. He decided to postpone his inquiry into this matter till a later hour of the night or morning. "Any orders, Captain Passford?" asked the first lieutenant, as he saw that Christy appeared to be master of the situation. .

wdp7 15 "Bless the Lord that I am here at last!" exclaimed the skipper, as he looked furtively about him. "All right; get him up if you can. Is he able to walk?" "I think I do, captain, and I submit to your authority as the commander of the ship," answered Christy, with a dignified bow. 221 "But I cannot dress the wound here, Mr. Pennant," added the surgeon. wdp7 15 . "He is the coachman. I am not sorry that Walsh has gone, for he has saved me the trouble of discharging him. Wilder, who had been with us so many years, took it into his head to enlist in the army, and I was not willing to persuade him to shirk his duty. Walsh has not been here quite two weeks. He said he was born in the West Indies; but he was always prying into matters that did not concern him, and I have several times found him standing at the door when we were talking about family matters. I reproved him for it; but it did no good. Your father 30 intended to discharge him as soon as he returned from Washington." "I wish to introduce a gentleman to you; Lieutenant Passford, let me make you acquainted with Lieutenant Passford," said the commander as he led the way into the captain's cabin. Christy went to the library, and busied himself in considering whether or not the sudden departure of Walsh had any connection with the mysterious midnight intruder. The two events had been near together in point of time; but he could establish no other relation between them. Then it flashed upon his mind that the man-servant had been the person who had opened or closed his door, and visited his room; but he was sure he had seen a man near the grand entrance of the estate. He had been all around the house, and Walsh could not have escaped his observation. He had answered the bell, and admitted him after his search. He concluded that the servant was not the person who had disturbed his slumbers. "Sail ahead!" shouted the bow oarsman, looking behind him. "Good heavens!" exclaimed the first lieutenant, as he came out from his shelter. "You are wounded again!" "How many men are there at the fort?" "I do not ask for it, though of course I am anxious to have the truth come out, for just now I am in disgrace as an impostor, to say nothing of being regarded as an enemy of the union," replied Christy. "He who occupies a stateroom in the steamer is my own cousin, and the pleasantest relations have always subsisted between our families. I have nothing against him personally, and I would do him a kindness as readily as ever before in my life.".

wdp7 15 "Strike three bells," added the commander; and the steamer began to back her screw. wdp7 15 . At the principal entrance of the fort they were challenged by the sentinel. Mr. Pennant was somewhat afraid his northern dialect would betray him, for he was not a highly educated man, though he was exceedingly well informed in all matters pertaining to the duties of a shipmaster. "All sorts o' tings, massa; guns, and pistols, and close. Dis nigger help take de tings out ob her." .

wdp7 15 "I do not propose to submit to another investigation by you, or any one but the flag-officer; but for your information I am willing to give you the facts," said Christy with dignity, of which he had a full supply whenever it was needed. "As long as the officers in charge of the Bronx continued to obey the orders of the commodore to proceed to the eastward, I did nothing; but when they headed the steamer to the westward, which they did as soon as it was dark, I understood very well that they were disobeying their orders, and intended to run the Bronx into Pensacola Bay, and deliver her to the Confederate authorities. Then I carried out my plan and captured the vessel." "About nine o'clock; perhaps sooner. Byron will have the deck from eight bells for the first watch; I hope and expect Flint will turn in at that time, for he will have the mid-watch. It might be a little awkward if he happens to be on deck when we change our course from east to west." wdp7 15 . "Maggywogs! That sounds like Massa Christy's 129 voice; but I done seen him on deck five or ten minutes ago." "No doubt of it," replied Christy. "Bonnydale!" repeated the officer, after using his handkerchief, and thus improving his utterance of the word. "Did you learn his name?" asked Christy, greatly interested in what the officer was about to say. "Dave, sir," replied he, evidently deeply impressed by the visitor for some reason not yet apparent to the captain. "Do you surrender?" asked the lieutenant of the principal man on the forecastle as he came alongside of him. Christy struck his bell, and the steward promptly appeared at the door..

wdp7 15 "In spite of your denial and your motto, I shall have to regard you as a prisoner of war, and treat you as such," said the captain, rising from his chair, the others following his example. "Then my uncle has vessels in that bay which are to run out?" inquired Christy, deeply interested in the revelations of the skipper. "I think I shall go on deck and see the fun, if there is any, and turn in if there is none," added Christy. . "Of course the Confederates on the lower Mississippi are using all their resources to strengthen Fort Jackson and Fort St. Philip; and they can make a better use of big guns and artillerymen than in defending an opening like this one," replied Mr. Flint. "The flag-officer has signalled for the Vernon to come alongside," interposed another seaman who had heard the question. "I don't wish to be rude with a gentleman as polite as yourself, Captain Passford; but you interrupted my remarks by rising from your chair," said Captain Flanger, with the revolver still poised in his hand, while he dropped the other with the handcuff upon it at his side. "His name is David Davis; but he is not a relative of the president of the Southern Confederacy, for he is a mulatto. He has rendered very 364 important service on several occasions, and there is not a truer or braver man on board of the Bronx, or any other ship of the squadron," replied Christy with enthusiasm. At the principal entrance of the fort they were challenged by the sentinel. Mr. Pennant was somewhat afraid his northern dialect would betray him, for he was not a highly educated man, though he was exceedingly well informed in all matters pertaining to the duties of a shipmaster. "I thank you for the suggestion, Mr. Passford, and I must say that you seem to be entirely fair," said the commander. "Are you a sailor?" asked Christy. .

wdp7 15 The breach was closed, and Corny produced the sealed envelope. "We have five prisoners on board; and we can take care of them well enough," replied Christy; "but the principal difficulty is that we have no officers." CHAPTER XVII THE SECOND AND THIRD LIEUTENANTS wdp7 15 . "The other men in the sloop, with the exception of the skipper, fired upon my boat, and wounded an officer and a seaman." "Yes, sar; I knows it like my own name, but I can't spoke it if I die for't," answered Job, laughing. "A ball went through my arm; but it is all right," replied Christy with a ghastly smile. "You know me, don't you, Boxie?" said Corny as he recognized the old salt, who was the sheet-anchorsman of the crew, and who was generally their spokesman. When the questioning was finished, the leaning of the trio of officers was in favor of Christy; but not one of them said anything in the presence of the two Passfords. The captain declared that he had already used up too much time in the inquiry, and he must close the conference very soon. 79 Then he asked if either of the gentlemen had any papers they wished to present in support of his identity. "De doctor! Be you a doctor, sar?".

wdp7 15 "You know that I am. Wasn't the commission decided to be mine?" "The first cutter of the United States steamer Bronx! Heave to, and give an account of yourselves," hailed the officer in command. "Stand by to lay on your oars!" he added in a lower tone to his crew. "Oars!" result paito sydney "That will amount to their being made ensigns when you go north again if they prove to be worthy of promotion," added the executive officer, with a chuckle. "That was what happened to Baskirk and Amden." wdp7 15 . "Why do you say that we have struck the right man, Mike?" asked Mr. Pennant, caring little for the former relations of the two men. "You did not?" "Will you set a nigger upon me again, Christy?" using the commander's proper name for the first time. "Dr. Connelly?" "I have had enough of him; remove him to the quarters," added Christy. "But where did you learn this history of Corny's operations?" asked his uncle, knitting his brow as though he did not quite believe the narrative. .
