If Lieutenant Cantor escapes, or attempts to escape, then you have my order to shoot him, if necessary." "Darrin," snarled Cantor, "this is all your doing!" "Some of it, sir," Dave admitted, cheerfully.

"I heard you and another man talking in here, and I sent for Lieutenant Trent.
As it happens, I know this to be the home, or the hanging-out place of Cosetta, and as I heard you talking just inside the door, I reported that fact to Lieutenant Trent." "You will find nothing in this house, and I have not been, intentionally, in the house of a bandit, or in the house of any other questionable character," snarled Cantor, turning his back on Darrin.

"And you are making a serious mistake in placing me in arrest." "If your companion had been a proper one he would not have run away when American forces burst in here," Lieutenant Trent returned.
"Both on Ensign Darrin's report, and on my own observation and suspicion, I will take the responsibility of placing you in arrest.
I shall report your arrest to the commanding officer on shore, and will be guided by his instructions.

You will have opportunity to state your case to him." "And he will order my instant release as soon as he hears why I am on shore.

Trent, you have made a serious mistake, and you are continuing to make it by keeping me in arrest." "Sorry, Cantor; sorry, indeed, if I am doing you an injustice," Lieutenant Trent answered, with more feeling.
