No, sar-must have boat if not for your sake, I must hab it, save my own life anyhow, for they hate me and kill me first; by de powers, stop a little." Jack felt the truth of Mesty's observation; he went aft with him, lowered down the small boat, and they hauled it alongside. Jack went down with Mesty into the cabin and fetched his pistols.
As Mesty said, his plan was better, and so it proved; for as soon as Jack had done, the men went down to get another jug of wine, and found, to their disappointment, that it was all under lock and key. In the meantime, Jack called Mesty aft, and asked him if he knew the way to Toulon. Mesty declared that he knew nothing about it.
Easy thanked him for his kindness in allowing Mesty to attend them, and having received his orders as to their joining the ship as soon as they recovered, and having promised to be very cautious in their behaviour and keep out of all scrapes, he wished them a speedy recovery, and departed.
I guess, to make tay, in the first place I must ab water, and in the next must ab room in the galley to put the kettle on and 'pose you wanted to burn the tip of your little finger just now, it's not in the galley that you find a berth for it and den the water before seven bells. I've a notion it's just impassible." "But he must have something, Mesty."
"Well, Massa Easy, by and bye we see more Spanish girl. Why not talk all day with Pedro, and den you able to talk with dem." "Upon my word, Mesty, I never had an idea of your value. I will learn all the Spanish that I can," replied Jack, who was glad to have employment found for him, and was quite disgusted with the articles of war.
And Jack had made inquiries when the packet would sail for Malta, when Mesty, who stood behind his chair, observed, "Packet bad vessel, Massa Easy. Why not go out in man-of-war?" "Very true," replied Jack; "but you know, Mesty, that is not so easy." "And den how come home, sar? Suppose you and Missy Agnes taken prisoner put in prison?"
"Dat very good advice," said Mesty; "leab it to us;" and Mesty walked away forward where the seamen were already in consultation. Jack also agreed to the prudence of this measure, and he perceived that the seamen, after a consultation with Mesty, were all arming themselves for resistance. The boats were now close on board, and English colours were hoisted at the gaff.
It appeared that the poor fellows had already made up their minds to do this, if our hero, persuaded by Mesty, had refused to take them on board; they shook hands all round, and then walking a few yards from the beach, stood in a line while the man gave the signal one two "Stop," cried Jack, who had not forgotten the dreadful scene which had already taken place "stop." The men paused.
Mesty walked away leaving our hero in deep thought. This conversation had more effect upon Jack than would have been imagined, and he very often found he was putting to himself the question of Mesty "Why do you stay at sea?"
"Do you see him there, Mesty, walking down in front of those men? He has a musket in his hand, a jacket with silver buttons, and white trousers." "Yes, Massa Easy, me see him well let me look little more dat enough." The galley-slaves appeared to be very anxious to surround the house that no one should escape, and Don Silvio was arranging the men.
