"So you'd better convince that officer, folks," the pirate leader concluded.

Moresby thought that officer guilty of a serious error in judgment.

If anyone warned that officer even now- No one passed the word, and the Tribesmen paid for it.

When the escort had disappeared, "Who is that officer?"

"No, you didn't, but instead of killing that Russian officer you brought him back."

Daniel, as the corvette's captain, would normally have been that officer.

Guard, help that officer up, and report for punishment.

Everyone in the squadron had avoided that commanding officer in different ways.

And who, of all people, was that officer?

And there they had locked him in, that officer and his black gang.
