We shall require to use great caution to get hold of so clever a fellow as Delano is described to be. I would propose rather to fit out a small merchantman, a xebeque or schooner, and to man her with men-of-war's men. We may, in a craft of that description, be able to get alongside the William, unsuspected, and to capture her without loss of life." "A capital idea," exclaimed Mr Dunnage.
I've had jungle fever and was shipwrecked in the H.B. Leeds it was that went down in a typhoon. I can't get a ship out of this blasted place. I'm an honest sailor if some hard on the drink just a peseta, sir, and I'll put your dunnage down in your cabin slick as a whistle."
