It is the greatest pity in the world he was not discovered before he got on the Dipsey." "But what can you do ?" cried Margaret.
"I cannot imagine," he replied, "unless I recall the Dipsey to Cape Tariff, and go up there and have him apprehended." "Couldn't he be apprehended where he is ?" she asked.

"There are enough men on board to capture him and shut him up somewhere where he could do no harm." "I have thought of that," answered Roland, "but it would be a very difficult and delicate thing to do.

The men we have on board the Dipsey are trusty fellows--at least, I thought so when they were engaged--but there is no knowing what mutinous poison this Pole may have infused into their minds.

If one of their number should be handcuffed and shut up without good reason being given, they might naturally rebel, and it would be very hard to give satisfactory reasons for arresting Rovinski.
Even Gibbs might object to such harshness upon grounds which might seem to him vague and insufficient.

Sammy knows Rovinski, I know him, but the others do not, and it might be difficult to convince them that he is the black-hearted scoundrel we think him; so we must be very careful what we do." "As to calling the Dipsey back," said Margaret, "I would not do it; I would take the risks." "I think you are right," said Clewe.
