May I ask if you were out on the bow-sprit along with Haines last night?" "Just afore the long-boat come in? Yes, we were there." "Well, I was down below, hanging to the cable, and overheard you two talking together. Somehow, Watkins, you do not seem to me to fit in exactly with this gang of pirates; you don't look to be that sort. How long have you been with them?"
As he spoke, the anchor peeped over the edge of the bows, and one of the seamen running past them took the helm. "Now then," shouted the fellow, "stand by. Look lively there with them sails." Obeying a light touch of the helm, the schooner's bow-sprit slowly swung round from the land, and the crew, hauling lustily on the ropes, began to hoist the sails.
Once a siren hooted apparently quite near them, and looking upward at a tangled, indeterminable mass which overhung the street at this point, Rita suddenly recognized it for a ship's bow-sprit. "Why," she said, "we are right on the bank of the river!" "Not quite," answered Pyne. "We are skirting a dock basin. We are nearly at our destination."
