Thomas Redruth, owner's servant, landsman, shot by the mutineers; James Hawkins, cabin-boy--
A landsman could hardly have worn this garb and shown this face, and worn and shown them both with such a galliard air, without undergoing stern question before a magistrate, and probably incurring a fine or imprisonment, or perhaps an exhibition in the stocks.
Remember (if indeed there be any need to remind you) that it is a flagrant landsman who is telling you this tale.
