Skyrme alone had retained his presence of mind. "Forward, you knaves!" he roared furiously, "what are you staring at? Up with the flag again, and throw your grappling irons." The pirates quickly hauled up the flag, and Skyrme's stentorian voice shouted: "Forward!" A second volley thundered down upon them from the British cannon.
By way of pastime, part of the pirates, under Skyrme's command, made short expeditions on the Fox-Hound to search for any ships that might be crossing their path.
Among these, the Foxwhelp has been a favourite for 200 years, and others in great esteem are Skyrme's Kernal, Forest Styre, Hagloe Crab, Dymock Red, Bromley, Cowarne Red, and Styre Wilding. Another local appellation which puzzled me for some years was "crab varges," which I eventually discovered to mean "verjuice," a terribly sour liquid, made in the same way as cider from crab apples.
