I do not know what would have happened to me if a sea captain had not come and proffered his assistance." "A sea captain!" she exclaimed; "and had he a flat face and a broken nose?" "Indeed he had," replied Jonathan. "That," said the lady, "must have been Captain Keitt's pirate partner Captain Willitts, of The Bloody Hand. He was doubtless spying upon the Portuguese."
"Yes," said Jonathan, "he did." "That," cried the lady, "could have been none other than Captain Keitt's Portuguese sailing-master, who must have been spying upon Hunt! Tell me what happened next!"

Keitt's dramatic threat had thrown the House into an uproar which had to be quelled by the sergeant at arms. Envy, hate, jealousy, spite, passion were supreme.
