A portly, grey-haired woman, the wife of one of the planters, was among the captives, but she also was thrust screaming and clutching over the side. "Mercy, you hussy!" neighed Sharkey, "you are surely a good twenty years too old for that." The captain of the Portobello, a hale, blue-eyed grey-beard, was the last upon the deck.
Unwittingly Simon had pierced her defences. But he never knew, for before he had time to know the grey-beard rose upon his feet and rubbed his thin hands together, chuckling.
