"No, not got quite so far as that yet pray sit down; but we have reason to believe that we have got a clue a slight one, indeed, but then, the information we have to go upon in our profession is frequently very slight very slight indeed." "True, too true," assented the captain.

Our gunner, having made all things ready, gave fire to the piece, and fearing to hurt any of the people, and regarding the owner's profit, thought belike he would save a saker's shot, doubting we should have occasion to fight with men-of-war, and so shot off the saker without a bullet, we looking still when the savages that were hurt should run away without legs; at length we could perceive never a man hurt, but all having their legs, could carry away their bodies.
