Incidentally, as we know, not a little injustice was done to English authors by the pirating of their books, without recompense, while the copyright still lived.
"So do I! And when we tell 'em we learned when we was off pirating, won't they wish they'd been along?" "Oh, I reckon not! I'll just BET they will!" So the talk ran on. But presently it began to flag a trifle, and grow disjointed. The silences widened; the expectoration marvellously increased.
"That is the very proposal I was going to make, sir," answered Dillon. "I will undertake to carry this ship alongside the Ouzel Galley, which was captured by buccaneers, and is now used by them to go pirating. Her former master and several of his people are alive, for I saw them lately, and if you manage as I will advise you, you will recover them likewise.
And all that swearing's got to be done at midnight, in the lonesomest, awfulest place you can find a ha'nted house is the best, but they're all ripped up now." "Well, midnight's good, anyway, Tom." "Yes, so it is. And you've got to swear on a coffin, and sign it with blood." "Now, that's something LIKE! Why, it's a million times bullier than pirating.
That fellow Williams as, perhaps, you may know, sir is a rare good 'un to talk, and he managed to talk me, as well as the rest of the hands, quite into the idee that pirating was just the best thing a poor down-trodden seaman could turn his hand to.

The boys used to say you was off pirating." "No such luck," answered Richard, with a smile. "I didn't prey on the high seas, quite the contrary. The high sea captured my kit and four years' savings.
Even pirating wasn't such good fun. Claude would go around to the other side of the Big Half Moon and we would play shipwrecked mariners signalling to each other with kites. Oh, it was very exciting. We had one kite that was a dandy.
"'It was for the joy of pirating, you old rascal, as you ought to know. It was for the pure love of the thing. And to think that all these years I have been leading a base gang of money-getters! "And he grabbed another couple of pistols out of his boots, and began firing once more. At this, the pirates lost their patience.
"So do I! And when we tell 'em we learned when we was off pirating, won't they wish they'd been along?" "Oh, I reckon not! I'll just BET they will!" So the talk ran on. But presently it began to flag a trifle, and grow disjointed. The silences widened; the expectoration marvellously increased.
"Why, Cora, I do believe if you thought you could get the better of that land company you would take the Chelton, and go pirating! Wouldn't it be great to go out on a dark night, steam up the bay, watch for other boats, listen to the smugglers " "Oh, Belle," put in Lottie, "that's not the way in books.
