Cain was within a few yards of the beach when there was the report of a musket; the pirate-captain was seen to raise his body convulsively half out of the water he floundered the clear blue wave was discoloured he sank, and was seen no more. Francisco darted forward from the rocks, and perceived Hawkhurst, standing beneath them with the musket in his hand, which he was recharging.
In less than five minutes there was not a living Portuguese on the bloody decks of the ill-fated ship. "Pass the word for not a man to go below, Hawkhurst," said the pirate-captain. "I have, sir; and sentries are stationed at the hatchways. Shall we haul the schooner off?" "No, let her remain; the breeze is faint already: we shall have a calm in half an hour. Have we lost many men?"
Francisco was equally annoyed at this unfortunate collision; but no words were exchanged between him and the pirate-captain during the time that they were on deck. It was about nine o'clock, when having safely passed nearly half through the channel, that Cain ordered the kedge-anchor to be dropped, and sent down the people to their breakfast.
