Hector Servadac

Excerpt from Hector Servadac

I am sorry, count, but in such a matter your views cannot modify mine. But allow me to point out that my senior ity unquestionably gives me a prior right. Mere seniority, I assert, in an affair Of this kind, can not possibly entitle you to any prior claim whatever. Then, captain, no alternative is left but for me to com pel you to yield at the sword's point.
