An' say, Henry, won't they be s'prised to see us come proudly sailin' into port in our gran' big gall-yun, all loaded down with arms an' supplies an' treasures that we hev captured?" Sol spoke in a tone of deep content, and Henry replied in the same tone: "If they don't they've changed mightily since we left 'em." Both, in truth, were pervaded with satisfaction.
"Henry," said Shif'less Sol presently in a tone of great exultation, "have you noticed that this is a shore enough gall-yun that we've took? We didn't know it, but we jest boarded and sailed away with a real treasure ship. Look!" He opened a locker and took out two fine ornamented guns. "What are these?" he said.
The day came, again unclouded and beautiful, and the five regarded it, the boat, and themselves with a great deal of satisfaction. "I'm thinkin' that our treasure ship, the gall-yun, ought to hev the most credit," said Shif'less Sol. "She brought us past all them warrin' people in great style. Without her we'd hev a hard time, follerin' the Spaniards to New Or-lee-yuns."
No, Henry, we're bold pirates on the high seas an' we've been an' took a Spanish gall-yun ain't that what they call their treasure ships? 'Pears to me, Henry, I kinder like bein' a pirate, 'specially when you do the takin', an' ain't took yourself." "That's so," laughed Henry, "but we'd better keep pulling, Sol, with all our might.
"My canoe repaired!" he said. "I don't understand." "'Twas only a little job fur fellers like us," said the shiftless one. "She's all done, an' your canoe, ez good ez new, is tied up thar alongside o' our 'Gall-yun."
"We took our gall-yun just in time," said Shif'less Sol jubilantly, "an' she is shore the greatest warship that ever floated on these waters. Oh, she's a fine boat, a beautiful boat, the reg'lar King o' the seas!" "Queen, you mean," said Paul, who felt the reaction. "No, King it is," replied Sol stoutly. "A boat that carries travelers may be a she, but shorely one that fights like this is a he."
