Really, I am glad that Morton took his discharge to-day.

I never felt wholly safe while we had him aboard." "He was a bad one," Ensign Hal Hastings nodded.

"Morton might have done something to sink us, only that he couldn't do so without throwing away his own life." "I don't know, sir, what I'd do, if I were a commanding officer and found that I had such a man in the crew," replied Midshipman Darrin.
"Why, in a man's first enlistment," replied Lieutenant Jack, "the commanding officer is empowered to give him a summary dismissal from the service.

Morton was in his second enlistment, or I surely would have dropped him ahead of his time.

I'm glad he's gone." Ensign Eph had now finished his meal and was sitting back in his chair.
