" What mean ye, lads, doing this outrage ? " the Master
asked.
" You will know fast enough when vou are set in the
shallop," they replied.
Now Juet, while this was going on, went down to King
in the hold; but he had got a sword and kept Juet at bay,
till others came down to help him.
The Master shouted to Staffe, the carpenter, that he was
being bound, but no reply came from him.
Then the shallop was brought up to the ship's side, and the
frost-bitten and sick men were ordered to get out of their
cabins and go down into the shallop. At this moment the
carpenter came forward and asked the mutineers if they wanted
to be hanged when they came home. " As for myself," he said,
" I will not bide in the ship, unless ye force me." "Oh! go

HUDSON'S LAST VOYAGE

floes, the shallop being fast to the stern followed after.
But when they were nearly clear of the ice, the mutineers
cut the cable and let the shallop fall off, while they out with
their top-sails and stood away to the east.
The sick men in the shallop fixed weary eyes on the
lessening ship, and Hudson had a sail put up and followed
slowly. Then they saw the Discovery go about, as the top-sails
were struck, and the helm was righted : she lay head to wind
under her fore-sail, and the men in the shallop took heart
again, for they said one to another: Surely they have
changed their minds and are waiting to take us in." But let
us see what these merry mutineers are doing.
