Don't let them guess what you are saying," the Englishman advised, lighting a cigar. "What have you to tell me?" "Mutiny, sir. That's what it is. We're after treasure. That's the story I've heard, and the men mean to take the ship." I thought of Evelyn and her aunt, and my heart sank. Sam stretched his arms and yawned. "When?" "Don't know, sir.
