McTee hesitated, and then grinned: "Not a bit. I know what you did twenty years ago in the Solomons." "And I know the story of you and the pearl divers." "That's enough." "Quite." "And Harrigan?" "As a favor to you, McTee, I'll break him. Maybe you'll be interested in my methods." "Try mine first.
Divers coaches belonging to obnoxious persons were destroyed, and their horses killed; and a gibbet was erected for one gentleman in particular, who narrowly escaped the ungovernable rage of those riotous insurgents. A body of horse and infantry were drawn out on this occasion, in order to overawe the multitude, which at night dispersed of itself.
That day's fishing was particularly successful, for the divers began work upon a new bed of shell, most of which were of great size and contained some magnificent pearls. Five especially huge oysters were opened by Barry himself in the presence of his men, and from them were taken seven pearls, each one larger than any yet previously obtained.
