illustration of quoted scene
āļāļ·āđāļ āļŦāļ§āļĒ āđāļĄāđ āļāļąāđāļ "I did, sir; for we captured a privateer on the voyage," answered Corny. "Why do you think it is not likely, Captain Passford?" asked the executive officer curiously. "Then you can do my errand for me," added the soldier. "My name is Ralph Pennant; I have a sea-going 119 name, and I suppose that is the reason why I went to sea," replied the seaman, with a good-natured laugh. "I have been the mate of a steamer, but I could not get any better position than that of able seaman, and I wanted to be in this stir-up." "But the conspirators do not intend that any issue shall be raised until the vessel is under the 139 guns of a Confederate fort. Doubtless Mr. Galvinne, whom I look upon as the actual commander of the steamer, for Corny is no sailor, will run into Pensacola Bay under the American flag. Probably he is a pilot in these waters, and knows what signal to make to the Confederate forts."
