Q: CHAPTER XX 

THE MATE TRIES TO TAKE COMMAND 

The fight had taken place around a bend of the shore, so that it was not observed by old Jerry and the girls. But when Dick got back to camp Dora at once noticed that something unusual had happened. 

"What is wrong, Dick?" she asked. 

"Oh, nothing much, Dora. I merely made Dan Baxter promise to keep his distance in the future." 

"Did you have a fight?" 

"It didn't amount to much. He had to give in pretty quickly." 

"Oh, Dick!" She caught his arm. 

"I won't have him annoying you, or the others, Dora." 

"You are so good!" she whispered. 

Supper was ready, and they sat down, leaving Jack Lesher still in the hammock. They had nearly finished when Dan Baxter came shuffling along. 

"Do you want some supper?" asked Dick. "If you do, come on." 

"I don't want anything more to-night," growled the bully, and sat down beside Jack Lesher. 

It was rather an uncomfortable evening. The thoughts of each of the party were busy. At the first opportunity Dick called old Jerry to one side. 

"Jerry, we must watch those two fellows closely," he said. 

"Right ye are, Dick." 

"I am afraid Lesher will be ugly when he wakes up." 

"More'n likely, lad--he always was on board ship. The drink gives him an awful temper." 

"I am, going to put the liquor where he can't get it." 

"He'll make ye give it to him." 

"Will he? Just you wait and see," replied Dick firmly.

Q: Unix (; trademarked as UNIX) is a family of multitasking, multiuser computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T Unix, development starting in the 1970s at the Bell Labs research center by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and others. 

Initially intended for use inside the Bell System, AT&T licensed Unix to outside parties from the late 1970s, leading to a variety of both academic and commercial variants of Unix from vendors such as the University of California, Berkeley (BSD), Microsoft (Xenix), IBM (AIX) and Sun Microsystems (Solaris). AT&T finally sold its rights in Unix to Novell in the early 1990s, which then sold its Unix business to the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) in 1995, but the UNIX trademark passed to the industry standards consortium The Open Group, which allows the use of the mark for certified operating systems compliant with the Single UNIX Specification (SUS). Among these is Apple's macOS, which is the Unix version with the largest installed base as of 2014. 

From the power user's or programmer's perspective, Unix systems are characterized by a modular design that is sometimes called the "Unix philosophy", meaning that the operating system provides a set of simple tools that each perform a limited, well-defined function, with a unified filesystem as the main means of communication and a shell scripting and command language to combine the tools to perform complex workflows. Aside from the modular design, Unix also distinguishes itself from its predecessors as the first portable operating system: almost the entire operating system is written in the C programming language that allowed Unix to reach numerous platforms.
