This act roused the ire of Flanger, and he began to struggle; but powerful as he was, the two seamen were too much for him, and he was fairly handcuffed. The second lieutenant was the officer of the deck, and he was sent back to his post of duty.
Flanger's face was so covered and daubed with the gore from his wound that the condition of his prominent facial member could not be determined. "I protest agailst this brutal treatmelt!" stormed the prisoner, as he continued to writhe in his irons.
"I am a woulded plisoler!" "I see you are; but you decline to permit the surgeon to dress your wound.
I have no more time to fool with you, and the men will put you on a berthsack forward.
