Now, Polly, be careful, and don't say anything rash, because this is very serious." "Oh yes, Sir Orkus." "Dear me, Doctor," said the General apologetically, "I am sorry we have no h's here." "Pray go on, Sir Hawkhurst," said the Doctor, smiling, and aspirating both in the name forcibly. "Now, Polly, should you know that watch?"
'Agreed; it's all fair! exclaimed the majority of the pirate's crew. 'My men, I thank you, replied Cain; 'and in return, as soon as we arrive at the Caicos, my share of the plunder on board shall be divided among you. This last observation completely turned the tables in favour of the captain; and those who had joined Hawkhurst now sided with the captain. Hawkhurst looked like a demon.
Lower says even the most ancient families, such as the Nevilles, Howards, Percys, Stanleys, Montagues, Pelhams, Ashburnhams, Sidneys, Sackvilles, Dacres, and Finches, prosecuted the manufacture with all the apparent ardour of Birmingham and Wolverhampton men in modern times. William Penn, the courtier Quaker, had iron-furnaces at Hawkhurst and other places in Sussex.
Clara darted a reproachful yet fond look on Edward, as, with swimming eyes, she was led by the coxswain to the boat, which had been joined by the launch of the Comus, the crew of which were, with their officers, wading to the beach. The men of the gig remained until they had given Hawkhurst and Francisco in charge of the other seamen, and then shoved off with Clara for the schooner.
Francisco put his hand to his forehead, covering his eyes as his elbow leant upon the table. 'A large ship, sir; we can see down to the second reef of her topsails, said Hawkhurst, looking down the skylight. The captain hastily swallowed some wine from a flagon, cast a look of scorn and anger upon Francisco, and rushed on deck.
They were chiefly soldiers who sat at the table heavy-looking rustics from Hawkhurst, Cranbrook and Appledore, in brigantines and steel caps, who had been sent in by the magistrates to the nearest seaport to assist in the defence of the coast a few of them wore corselets with almain rivets and carried swords, while the pike-heads of the others rose up here and there above the crowd.
The volley was answered by another, and a shout from the pirates, who, with Hawkhurst and Cain at their head, now pressed on, but not until they had received a second discharge from the Spaniards, and the pirates had fired in return. As the Spaniards could not at first fire a volley of more than a dozen muskets at a time, their opponents imagined their force to be much less than it really was.
I should be enabled to regain my proper place. November 11. Office. Saw Wortley. He says the spirits of our friends are improved, and those of our foes lowered, the few last days as to Reform. Cabinet at two. A fire at Melton-Constable. The country round Battle and Hawkhurst almost in insurrection. Troops sent there The accounts from France good.
Hawkhurst had spoken fluently and energetically, and there was an appearance of almost honesty in his coarse and deep-toned voice. Even the occasional oaths with which his speech was garnished, but which we have omitted, seemed to be pronounced more in sincerity than in blasphemy, and gave a more forcible impression to his narrative.
This passage is extremely intricate, but was well known to Hawkhurst, who had hitherto been pilot. Cain was not so well acquainted with it, and it required the greatest care in taking in the vessel, as, on the present occasion, Hawkhurst could not be called upon for this service.
