"Oh! father," groaned Orlando, as he fell before the blow of the mutineer. With a terrible cry of consternation Zeppa stooped to pick up his child -- only to be felled himself with a handspike, as the mutinous crew rushed into the cabin. "Overboard wi' them all!" shouted one of the men. One of the ruffians easily raised the Orlando's light frame and bore him to the deck. Next moment a sharp cry and splash were heard. Groggily Zeppa understood -- for he had seen his son carried away.

Orlando -- cast overboard . . . and he was powerless to help!
