"We need not fear the harpy saying anything about it," she remarked, "as she would first have to proclaim her own prostitution, and as for us, concealment is the best plan. And I would have you note that the horrible creature gives you a piece of advice you would do well to follow."
He could also perceive the captured gun-boat lying to in-shore to prevent their escape. "Harpy hab um all, by Gosh!" cried Mesty; "I ab notion dat she soon settle um hash." They were so busy looking at the Harpy and the convoy, that, for some time, they quite forgot to look to windward. At last Mesty turned his eyes that way.
"The Harpy, there appears little chance of our seeing her again we are on a desolate island, or what is the same thing; but we will hope that it will be so: but how is this mutiny to end?" "Massa Easy, suppose I please, I make it end very soon, but I not in a hurry." "How do you mean, Mesty, not in a hurry?"
When the Harpy was off Tarragona, it so happened that there were several cases of dysentery in the ship, and Mr Asper and Mr Jolliffe were two of those who were suffering.
By all powers, but suppose dey tink we no share prize-money they find it not little mistake. Now, my lads, it all over, and," continued Mesty, sliding down the mast, "I tink you better not show yourself too much; only two men stay on deck, and dem two take off um jackets." Mesty's report was correct; the Harpy had captured the other gun-boat, and the whole convoy.
Reason awakes and views unbarred The sacred gates she wished to guard, Sees approach the harpy law, And Nemesis beholds with awe, Ready to seize the poor remains That vice has left of all his gains. Cold penitence, lame after-thought, With fear, despair, and horror fraught, Call back the guilty pleasures dead, Whom he has robbed and whom betrayed! Bishop Hoadley.
Meanwhile war had broken out between England and France, causing the frequent detention of vessels; and a store-ship in the harbour caught fire, the precursor of a worse misfortune. The assailant then wasted Granville, sailed up to Bance Island, and finally captured two vessels, besides the long-expected Harpy.
"Vanity, indeed," replied I, "differs from the other vices in this; they commonly are only opposite to the one contrary virtue, while this vice has a kind of ubiquity, is on the watch to intrude everywhere, and weakens all the virtues which it can not destroy. I believe vanity was the harpy of the ancient poets, which, they tell us, tainted whatever it touched."
Captain Wilson found that he was posted into the Aurora frigate, in which a vacancy had been made by the result of our hero's transgressions. Mr Sawbridge was raised to the rank of commander, and appointed to the command of the Harpy.
The next day Jack had recovered from the first shock which the catastrophe had given him, and he called Mesty into the cabin to hold a consultation. "Mesty, how is this to end?" "How do you mean, sar? end here, or end on board of de Harpy?"
