Mancillo laughed cruelly "Let them be eaten I so much the better for us. When they are dead they cannot talk." "Then let me share their fate, I " The leader of the mutineers placed the muzzle of his pistol against Loftgreen's chest. "Be silent, you damned Ingleese dog! Be silent, and do what I tell you, or by the Holy Virgin, I kill you."
"Never mind your Ingleese; come on, and make your fellows help to pump." The captain rose, reeled, and fell. He was mortal drunk. "You been do you dam please," he hiccupped; and Joe retired with a shrug. It was clear that the English pilot had run a Spanish ship aground, as nearly as possible, and only the two anchors kept her from going hard on.
The mate ran hastily forward, but as he reached the short ladder which led to the topgallant foc's'cle, two Chilenos, each carrying a cutlass, sprang upon and seized him by the arms, while Mancillo held the point of a knife to his throat. "Ha, you Ingleese dog! If you speak, you die now; we shall kill you," said one of the mutineers in a fierce whisper.
With a curse Joe rushed aft. On his way he saw the sounding rod, and he shouted, "See how much she's got in her, Bill. There's a set of mounseers forrad there, no more good than kittens." Then the mate entered the after-cabin, and found a man on the floor. "What cheer, O, what cheer! Tumble up, my daisy!" The man glared glassily, and muttered, "I speak him Ingleese very good."
He wrenched himself round, and there was the Spanish captain, glaring, trembling, and breathing hard. "See, see! You been help, Ingleese!" and he pointed to the dusk as he shrieked. Joe saw at once that the man was wild with drink, and he put on a smile, with a notion of coaxing the captain over. In a little while he managed to get him below, and, foolishly, filled him some more cognac.
