We could see it plainly by the moonlight, all neatly drawn out, even to the ash barrel and the clothes dryer, and there, on the fifth plank from the end was a cross in red ink, and beside it the magic word Treasure! Captain Pegg inserted the crowbar in a wide crack between the fourth and fifth boards, then we all pressed our full weight upon it with a "Yo heave ho, my hearties!" from our chief.
Over the skylight opening lay a wooden covering tightly secured in place. "Come on, my hearties! Smash it!" yelled Trent, heaving his own broad shoulders against the obstruction. After the skylight cover was smashed the Mexican soldiers would once more have the advantage. Only a man at a time could reach the roof.
Yes, I'm quite of your way of thinking, Miss Rose; it is very vulgar to be straining at gnats and flies, more particularly at table. But you'll find no flies or gnats aboard here, to be straining at, or brushing away, or to annoy you. Stand by there, my hearties, and see all clear to run through Hell-Gate. Do n't let me catch you straining at anything, though it should be the fin of a whale!"
Tommy's companions were fairly hysterical with merriment. Tommy yelled again, begging them to "thave" her. "I'll save ye, darlin'," cried Jane, throwing herself down and fastening a hand lightly in Tommy's hair, whereat the little girl screamed more lustily than before. "Lend a hand here, my hearties. The darlin' wants to be saved. We'll save her, won't we?" Jane shouted in great glee.
Tumble up, my lively hearties; steamboat alongside waiting for your trunks: bear a hand, bear a hand with your knee-buckles, my sweet and pleasant fellows! fine shower-bath here on deck. Hurrah, hurrah! your ice-cream is getting cold!" Whereupon some of the old croakers who were getting into their trowsers would reply with "Oh, stop your gabble, will you? don't be in such a hurry, now.
"The soldiers are slow at a night muster," Tom concluded; "and from what I overheard, the express will have to make a crooked course, to double the head of the bay, so that, but for this northeaster, we might weather upon them yet; but it's a matter that lies altogether in the will of Providence. Pull, my hearties, pull everything depends on your oars to- night."
"We've got a long ways to go yet," he added. "Let's take it a little easier, if you please," requested Arnold. "My arms are nearly pulled out of their sockets." "All right, my hearties, take your time now. I just wanted to get into clear while the others went past us," replied Lopez. In a short time the boys were amongst the shipping on the river.
A gasp of astonishment went around. "Pull in on the line," urged Carlos. "There's your treasure." Like one in a trance, Tom obediently pulled on the line. The noose tightened about the chest. Tom dragged with all his might but was unable to move the object. He glanced at the others. They seemed unable to move, but gazed with staring eyes at the sight. "Tail on here, my hearties," cried Tom.
"That's it, my hearties," and Morgan was across a broken wall in a moment, after the leading hounds. "Are we to go on?" said Lizzie, who feared much that Lucinda would get ahead of her. There was a matter of three dozen horsemen up now, and, as far as Lizzie saw, the whole thing might have to be done again.
"It's your first long trip, and it certainly is a big one," spoke his father. "Prove yourself a man, Bob." "I'll try, sir." Bob felt new responsibilities now, and made any number of good resolutions. "Ahoy, my hearties!" called the bluff, cheerful voice of Captain Spark. "Heave up the anchor, brace around the yards, for we've got a good wind, a free course and a fair sky!"
