It was a drawn battle, and corps law requires that drawn battles shall be refought as soon as the adversaries are well of their hurts. So, to make a sort of drawn battle of the matter, it was settled that Heinel should be put into an open boat, that lay on the sea-shore hard by; that the father should push him off with his own hand, and that he should thus be set adrift, and left to the bad or good luck of wind and weather. They accepted with alacrity, repaired to the pier, and gained--their share of a drawn battle. |
