The officer of the watch and the pilot must, evidently, have managed the maneuver badly.

They are accordingly dismissed and others put in their place, while the ship heels over farther yet and begins to leak in every joint.

Enough: it is the fault of the captain and the old staff of officers, They are not well-disposed; for a beautiful system of navigation like this ought to work well; and if it fails to do so, it is because some one interferes with it.

It is positively certain that some of those people belonging to the former regime must be traitors, who would rather have the ship go down than submit; they are public enemies and monsters.

They must be seized, disarmed, put under surveillance, and punished .-- Such is the reasoning of the Assembly.
