I had no sooner made this discovery, which drew from me an involuntary groan, when a ship's lanthorn was of a sudden thrust over me, and I perceived behind it a head covered with shaggy hair and beard, and beetling brows. Never had I been in such a terrifying presence. "Damn my blood and bones, life signals at last! Another three bells gone, my silks and laces, and we had given you to the sharks."
