Frenchmen and Englishmen, Huguenot and Dutch Calvinists, Willis, Warner, Montbar the Exterminator, Levasseur, Lolonois, Henry Morgan, Coxon and Sharp, Bartholomew the Portuguese, Rock the Dutchman, were representative men. They gave a villanous expression, and an edge which avarice whetted, to the religious patriotism of their countrymen.
The English in the party, about 100 in number and led by Captains Barnes and Coxon, submitted at Port Royal under the terms of the Act against Privateers, and delivered up the Bishop of Santa Marta to Lord Vaughan. Vaughan took care to lodge the bishop well, and hired a vessel to send him to Cartagena, at which "the good old man was exceedingly pleased."
I tell you what it is, Coxon, and you must stop me if you don't like to hear it I shall always consider Medland got your support on false pretences." Coxon did not stop him. He sat and bit his finger-nail while Kilshaw pointed out the discrepancies between what Medland had foreshadowed and what he was doing.
He hurriedly greeted Lady Eynesford, and went on "Pray excuse me, but have you seen Sir Robert Perry? I am most anxious to find him." "He's there on the path," answered Coxon, and Kilshaw leapt to the ground. "Run and listen, and come and tell me," cried Lady Eynesford, and Coxon, hastening off, overtook Kilshaw just as the latter came upon Sir Robert Perry. The news soon spread.
"You used to be so regular," remarked Kilshaw in surprise, or seeming surprise. Coxon gave a laugh of embarrassed vexation. "I think I go as often as I'm wanted," he said. "To tell you the truth, Kilshaw, I find my lady a little high and mighty." "Women can never separate politics and persons," observed Kilshaw, with a tolerant smile.
If I'd been but good gracious! I forgot Dick. Do come, Alicia, and get him away from her. We seem to have nothing but Medlands to-night!" The first person they met inside the ball-room was Mr. Coxon. He was enveloped in gloom. Alicia's conscience smote her. "Oh!" she cried, "I forgot Mr. Coxon! I must go and scold him for not coming for me. Nonsense, Eleanor!
I had been with them five years, and old Coxon gave me a ripping good testimonial when the smash came, but of course we clerks were all turned adrift, the twenty-seven of us. I tried here and tried there, but there were lots of other chaps on the same lay as myself, and it was a perfect frost for a long time.
Visited the shore at half-past nine, took a long walk, dropped in upon the Post-captain, and went to church Father Kiernan saying mass. He is an earnest, simple-minded Irish priest, with a picturesque little church on the hill-side, and a small congregation composed chiefly of soldiers and sailors a seaman serving mass. Captain Coxon and a couple of the Lieutenants of the squadron being present.
"I mean it would be likely to weigh with with your sister-in-law?" "With Alicia? Why, what has Alicia got to do with it?" "You mustn't chaff me, Lady Eynesford. It's too serious," pleaded Coxon, in self-complacent tones. "What does the man mean?" thought Lady Eynesford.
On the way the vessel fell in with a squadron of three noted pirates, Coxon, Sawkins, and Sharp. The whole of the crew of the merchantman joining them, Dampier was compelled to go with them also. Soon afterwards Porto Bello was sacked by two hundred of the pirates, each of whom obtained as his share one hundred and sixty pieces of eight.
