Dave Darrin’s First Year at Annapolis

CHAPTER VIII
3/4

But you surely had a close call.

Do you want to try to sit up ?" This Farley soon concluded to do.

Then his seconds dressed him.
"Now, see if you can stand on your feet," urged Midshipman Tyson.
By this time Farley's wits had returned sufficiently for him to have a very fair idea of what had passed.
Aided by Henkel and Page Midshipman Farley got to his feet.

There he stood, dizzily, until his late seconds gave him stronger support.
"You can't go back to Bancroft while you are in this condition, mister," hinted Tyson decidedly.

"You'll have to pass in review before one of our medical gentlemen, and do whatever he deems best." "Dan," murmured Dave, "go over and ask Farley whether he cares to shake hands." Dan crossed in quest of the information.
"Never!" growled Farley, with a hissing intake of breath.
"It's a shame to have bad blood after the fight is over," muttered Tyson rebukingly.
"I don't want anything to do with that fellow until we meet again," growled Farley.
"Great Scott, mister! You don't think of calling Mister Darrin out again, do you ?" demanded Tyson, with a gasp.
"Yes; if he can be made to fight fair!" snarled Farley.
"He fought fairly this time, mister," replied Second Class Man Tyson, almost with heat.
