Go to your duty, and remember that you have injured yourself more than Shuffles by this course." Wilton hung his head, and went forward, cheated of his revenge, and disconcerted by the rebuke he had received.
Mr.Lowington was quite willing to believe that Shuffles had talked about a mutiny, while he was in the steerage, but there was at least no present danger of an extravagant scheme being put into operation.

He understood Shuffles perfectly; he knew that his high office and his ambition were his only incentives to fidelity in the discharge of his duty; but he had fairly won his position, and he was willing to let him stand or fall by his own merits.

He was not a young man of high moral principle, as Paul Kendall, and Gordon, and Carnes were; but the discipline of the ship was certainly doing wonders for him, though it might ultimately fail of its ends.
The ship came to anchor, the band was sent on shore, and the Fourth of July holidays were ended.

On the following morning the studies were resumed, and everything on board went on as usual.

A few days later, the ship went on a cruise to the eastward, spending a week in each of the principal ports on the coast.
