summary:
  The heat was awful, and after holding his breath till he reached the bottom, at the first inspiration Mark felt giddy and sick; but making a brave effort, he took a step forward, trying to pierce the darkness around--black darkness to one who had just come out of the blazing sunshine--and made a snatch at the arm of the man nearest to him in the crowd. It was horrible in the extreme, Mark felt, but nothing else could be done, and the sufferers were committed to the deep by their more fortunate companions, with a few wails of grief and beatings of the breast.

summary:
  When I had somewhat recovered, and the stars had done flying about before my eyes, I perceived that I was in a large cave, standing at the foot of a rude table, at the further end of which sat a powerfully-built, bold-looking man, dressed in a nautical costume, while a number of other men, mostly seamen, sat on either side of him. We soon gained more hope of escape, from the rate at which our pursuers came on; and we began to suspect that the boats, probably in the hurry of the moment, were manned with old men and lads, and any one who was at hand; and that they were likely rather to fall off than to increase their speed.

  My lads, he said, there's a ship somewhat bigger than we are, and maybe there are more men on board; but they're only Frenchmen. I told him, and turning to the right he caught me by the collar and shoved me through a door among a number of young men and boys, exclaiming, in a croaking voice, Here's Master Marmaduke Merry come to be one of us; treat him kindly for his mother's sake. Having thus satisfactorily fulfilled his mission he disappeared.

  That's meant for you, Mr Fitz, sir, said the carpenter with a chuckle, and the men roared again. If you and Mr Fitz here has fell out, none of that tommy-rot nonsense.

  Turning round, he faced me just in good time to catch on my features the expression of sickening disgust with which I had viewed his actions. Don't try to recall the circumstances just now; your brain is still too weak to be much exercised; it will all come back in good time, never fear.

  I took care to apply for Larry, and to remind him to bring his riddle with him, but I didn't hear what other men were selected to form the prize crew. Larry, as usual, made himself at home with his fiddle, and soon set the seamen and French prisoners jigging away, as he had done on board other ships.
