Also was tired when reading it so that may have something to do with it. Like the good guys in the story, dependable interesting sorts. It was pretty much non-stop action and the lack of break from that was a bit taxing. Louis L'Amour writes well, but sometimes too dependent with the exclamation marks.

They were taken on the ship against their will (essentially kidnapped), so why would mutiny still be a hangable offense for them?
