Mammy scolded them for being so long absent. "If cappen here, you no do it," she observed; by which remark they guessed that, though she held O'Harrall in awe, she had herself no ill-feeling towards them. On Owen's telling her of the sick man, she consented to let Pompey take him some food, and undertook to visit him herself, provided they would promise not to leave the house during her absence.
Their chance, however, of getting off undiscovered was less than it had been before, for so great was the demand for hands to man the Ouzel Galley that the two Spaniards were called away from their post, and no others were sent to take their places. One evening, about this time, Pompey made his appearance in a great state of agitation. "What do you tink, Cappen Massey?" he exclaimed.
"No massa," replied the faithful creature; "me no want to lib: no takee master Green no takee me! Mungo lib good many years wi massa cappen. Mungo die with massa, and go back to Guinea!" I now thought we had given the captain a sufficient lesson for his treachery and murderous intentions.
The last trip was made at about an hour before midnight, when Pompey and Dan returned, and Owen, with the old woman and Tim, accompanied them down to the beach. The night was very dark; no human being was stirring. As silently as possible the canoe was launched, when the stores were quickly put on board.

Still the ship flew on as fast as previously before the rising gale. "Bedad! and it's my belafe that we're going to have old Harry Cane on board," observed Dan to Pompey. "You not far wrong dere," answered the black. "Cappen Massey know what him about.
De cappen ask me if I know where we were. I say, "I suppose we somewhere on de Spanish Main." "All right," he answer; "maybe you're not much of a navigator?" "`Poor nigger like me know berry little 'cept how to make sea-pie, I say. He den order me to go below, and soon afterwards I hear de roar ob de breakers, and I know we'd got near the shore.
They were, "Don't try shot, cappen. Too long way off. You miss all. Maybe they go lookee place for billy eggs. Much betta we waitee while." Thus cautioned, the captain laid aside the gun, while they all remained silently watching the maleos, which continued their course, with its various divergences, still unconscious of being observed.
Now what I want to know is, are you an' the others prepared to join me, if I manage to cut your cords an' give you weapons, an' " "Shush! clap a stopper on your mouth, cappen," said Grummidge in an undertone, "the redskins are listening." "An' what then? They know no more about English than I know about Timbuctoosh," returned the captain irascibly. "Let 'em listen!
