Ninety-three By Victor Hugo, Aline Delano

Ninety-three By Victor Hugo, Aline Delano: "in two an unfortunate fifth man and struck and one of the guns of the larboard battery Hence the cry of distress which had been heard All the men rushed to the ladder The gun deck was empty in the twinkling of an eye The monstrous gun was left to itself It was its own mistress and mistress of the ship It could do with it whatsoever it wished This crew accustomed laugh in battle now trembled It would be impossible to describe their terror"
