Yaspard could not speak, but his haggard, weary appearance, as well as the helpless form beside him, told a tale of sufficient misery. "That's my bo's'n," said the captain, as soon as he saw the man's face. "I have lost her.
And there's the Bo's'n hailing!" says he, as a hoarse roar of "Supper O!" reached us. "Go down, Martin, I stay but to make things ship-shape!" and he nodded towards the books and papers that littered the table.
"'Why, said the bo's'n, 'we'd like some of our share of the money, if it's all the same to you. "'And when you get it, continued the pirate chief, 'what do you propose to do with it? "'Why, spend some on it, an' buy some o' the good things o' life. Look at us. Like a lot of scare-crows, we be.
The men formed a line in front of the cottage thirty-four of them while old Aaron tottered forward. "'Cap'n, he said, 'we'd like to have a word with you. "'Well, replied Black Pedro, 'what do you want? "'Cap'n, it's this way. You know ME. I've been your bo's'n an' yer father's an' yer grand-father's afore HIM, ever since the 'Angel' was built, an' afore that, too.
"Ha! you are the boatswain of the Talisman!" exclaimed Gascoyne, as the light reflected from his own countenance irradiated that of Dick Price, whom, of course, he had seen while they were on board the frigate together. "No, Mister Pirate," said Dick; "I am not the bo's'n of the Talisman, else I shouldn't be here this night. I wos the bo's'n of that unfortunate frigate, but I is so no longer."
We may as well hark back here a little, and very briefly sketch the incident. It may serve as a guide to others. The two were standing according to the report of the bo's'n, who witnessed the whole affair "abaft the main shrouds squintin' over the weather gangway." We are not quite sure of the exact words used by that discreditable bo's'n, but these are something like them.
A knock came to the door. Clare said, "Come in." The quartermaster entered. Instead of sir Harry, he saw the miserable stowaway, seated in the captain's own chair. He swore at him, and ordered him out, prepared to give him a kick as he passed. "Out with you!" he cried. "Go for'ard. Tell the bo's'n to look out a rope's end. I'll be after you."
The captain gave the order, and pell-mell down the rift we clambered, some dropping their muskets in their hurried descent, one of which exploded in its fall. The bo's'n had found the beach and our boat guarded by six pirates, who were asleep. Four of these they succeeded in throttling.
Lemme whisper in yer ear, if I may make so bold "'No whispering, returned his chief, 'no whispering here. What's the matter with you anyway? And why don't you fetch out The Plank?" "Well, Cap'n, said the bo's'n, rubbing his hands together, nervously, 'you know ME. I've been with you ever since you begun. I was with you in the days of the old 'Panther, an' "'Cut it short! shouted Pedro.
There! Take a long drink. You will feel better now, and when you have had a square meal, you shall tell me all about it. And the others? You are an old salt, anybody can see that." "Yes, sir. Bill Yawl at your service, an old man-o'-war's man, able-bodied seaman, bo's'n, and ship's carpenter, anything you like sir.
