To attempt to Compel him in any way, or even to disobey his commends, was an action tainted with mutiny; and Mat as the whispered discussion proceeded, repeatedly pointed this out He says Caps Core was killed.

We'll be there, with luck, soon after day. Mr. McAusland can take the Capn'i cabin. You have yours. It was upon Mat Forbea that the responsibility for the Venturer and those aboard her now fell. Half persuaded by Mary, and then convinced by Gee's enforced confession, he had accepted the necessity of leading what was technically a mutiny.
