He informed the prisoner of war, as he chose to regard him, that he had directed the carpenter to put up a temporary berth for him.

I will be in the ward room as soon as the captain is done with me." "But Christy would have found plenty of witnesses here: the second lieutenant and the seamen on board of the Bronx, for example." "Make the course about south, Vincent," said the officer, as soon as he discovered that the steamer was in motion. "This will never do, Passford," said the tyrannical officer.
