me in irons —

handcuffs. He said

he did so by the Captain's order. I

was in the second mate's berth — generally, - but the mate turned me "forward into the forecastle. I remained in the forecastle ironed till next morning. The mate came then and let me out of irons to work. I asked him if he intended to do as he did in Rio, put me in irons at night and make me work in the day.

The Captain then

came in and pulled me out by the hair

and said, "Yes, it's too good for you,

Son of a bitch." He had irons

and a cat-o'-nine tails in his hands. He hit me on the head with the

irons, and hurled me down and kicked me in the left eye after I

fell down, giving me

a black eye.
