"That ground shark, Massa Easy, worst shark of all; you neber see him till you feel him;" and Mesty's eyes sparkled with pleasure. "By de powers, they soon stop de mutiny; now I hab 'em." Jack shuddered and walked away. During the day, the men on shore were seen to work hard, and make all the preparations before they abandoned themselves to the sensual gratification of intemperance.
Mesty's delight at leaving the service, and going home with his patron, was indescribable. He laid out a portion of his gold in a suit of plain clothes, white linen shirts, and in every respect the wardrobe of a man of fashion; in fact, he was now a complete gentleman's gentleman; was very particular in frizzing his woolly hair wore a white neckcloth, gloves, and cane.
"Now, Massa, suppose they see our boat, dey tink something; keep boat alongside, and shift her when we go 'bout every time: better not sail so fast now keep further off till they drop anchor for de night; and den, when it dark, we take 'em." All Mesty's advice was good, with the exception perhaps of advising our hero how to disobey orders and take a cruise.
"Don Silvio!" cried Jack. "What does he say of Don Silvio?" demanded Don Philip. Mesty's narrative was again translated, and he continued. "Dey lead me away 'bout fifty yards, tie me to tree, and den dey leave me, and dey all drink and make merry, neber offer me anyting; so I hab noting den to eat.
Was he to be thrown over the mole-head to the fishes or his skull broke was Mesty's knife to be resorted to was he to be kidnapped or poisoned or were fair means to be employed persuasion, bribery? Every one knows how difficult it is to get rid of a priest.
We therefore risk our lives from a misplaced lenity towards a wretch unworthy to live." "Your last argument is strong, Easy, but I cannot consent to your doing what may occasion you uneasiness hereafter when you think of it." "Pooh! nonsense I am a philosopher." "Of what school, Jack? Oh, I presume you are a disciple of Mesty's.

Every one felt inclined to laugh when he made his appearance; but there was some in Mesty's look, which, at all events, prevented their doing so before his face. The day for sailing arrived. Jack took leave of the Governor, thanking him for his great kindness, and stating his intention of taking Malta in his way out to Palermo in a month or two.
"That ground shark, Massa Easy worst shark of all; you nebber see him till you feel him"; and Mesty's eyes sparkled with pleasure. "By de powers, they soon stop de mutiny; now I hab 'em." Jack shuddered and walked away. During the day, the men on shore were seen to work hard, and make all the preparations before they abandoned themselves to the sensual gratification of intemperance.
However, I'll think of this." Jack then went back and consulted Gascoigne, who approved of Mesty's advice, and thought the scheme feasible. "If we could only pretend that we were thrown out of a caricola, you break your leg, a compound fracture of course, I break my arm both left on shore at sick quarters, with Mesty to take care of us."
