Here was a Blueskin guard, who had been peacefully slumbering when aroused by the footsteps of the fugitives. "Halt!" cried the guard fiercely. Cap'n Bill halted long enough to grab the man around his long neck with one hand and around his long leg with the other hand. Then he raised the Blueskin in the air and threw him far over the wall.
"I do," replied Kneebone. "Drink this, then," roared Blueskin. And pouring the contents of a small powder-flask into a bumper of brandy, he tendered him the mixture. At this juncture, the door was opened by Rachel. "What did you ring for, Sir?" she asked, eyeing the group with astonishment. "Your master wants a few table-spoons, child," said Mrs. Maggot.
Gag him," he added, pushing Thames rudely toward Quilt Arnold, "and convey him to the boat." "A word," cried the boy, as the janizary was preparing to obey his master's orders. "What has become of Jack Sheppard?" "Devil knows!" answered Quilt; "but I believe he's in the hands of Blueskin, so there's no doubt he'll soon be on the high-road to Tyburn." "Poor Jack!" sighed Thames.
"What?" he asked, "is a blueskin?" He'd read the folio on Weald, of course, but as the ship swam onward through emptiness he went through it again. The last medical inspection had been only perfunctory. Twelve years earlier instead of three a Med Ship had landed on Weald. There had been official conferences with health officials.
The Jew, who was paralysed by his companion's fate, offered no resistance, and was instantly seized. "Where is your accursed master?" demanded Blueskin, holding the sword to his throat. The Jew did not speak, but pointed to the audience-chamber. Committing him to the custody of the others, Blueskin, followed by a numerous band, darted in that direction.
"Levi West!" said he in a loud voice. "Is this the Levi West you've been telling me of? Look at that scar and the mark on his cheek! In the chest which Blueskin had dug up out of the sand were found not only the goldsmiths' bills taken from the packet, but also many other valuables belonging to the officers and the passengers of the unfortunate ship.
Nevertheless, those who stood looking did not draw a free breath until, after watching the two pirates for more than an hour and a half, they saw them then about six miles away suddenly put about and sail with a free wind out to sea again. "The bloody villains have gone!" said old Captain Wolfe, shutting his telescope with a click. But Lewes was not yet quit of Blueskin.
"Besides, you'll not be able to get in without me. It won't do to knock at the door, and Jonathan Wild's house is not quite so easy of entrance as Mr. Wood's." "I understand," replied Thames; "be it as you will." "Then, we'll lose no more time," returned Jack. "Come along, Blueskin."
So Hiram White invested seven hundred pounds in the Jamaica venture and every farthing of it was burned by Blueskin, off Currituck Sound. Sally Martin was said to be the prettiest girl in Lewes Hundred, and when the rumor began to leak out that Hiram White was courting her the whole community took it as a monstrous joke.
"Do you call ten guineas easy terms?" cried Wood, with a look of dismay. "Why, I should expect to purchase the entire freehold of the Mint for less money." "Many a man has been glad to pay double the amount to get his head from under the Mint pump," observed Blueskin, gruffly. "Let the gentleman take his own course," said Jonathan, mildly.
