In the course of conversation Jack inquired of him whether he was acquainted with Don Rebiera, to which the Sicilian answered in the affirmative, and they talked about the different members of the family.
A well-directed broadside astonished them they had no idea of her force; and the execution done was so great, that they first lay on their oars and then pulled back to the mole with all speed, leaving the Rebiera in quiet possession of her prizes, which had already gained two miles in the offing.
Don Philip and Agnes left them, to go to Don Rebiera, and make him acquainted with what had passed, and to ask his advice. When they went into the room, Don Rebiera immediately accosted his son. "Have you heard, Philip, that Friar Thomaso has returned at last? so the servants tell me." "The report may be fortunate," replied Don Philip; "but I have another story to tell you."
Jack then went on deck, talked with the officers, looked with pleasure at the Rebiera with the gun-boat in tow, keeping company with the frigate, although only under the same canvas promised Gascoigne to spend the next day with him either on shore or on board of the Rebiera, and then returned to the cabin, where he had a long conference with Captain Sawbridge.
"That Don Mathias?" "No, Sir Thomas! He is not Don Mathias! He is the very Don Silvio who was murdering Don Rebiera, when we came to his assistance and saved him." "I do believe you are right, Gascoigne." "I'm positive of it," replied Gascoigne; "I never made a mistake in my life." "Bring me those letters, Easy," said the Governor, "and let us see what they say of him.
Don Mathias, towards the close of the dinner, inquired of Jack by what means he had become acquainted with Don Rebiera, and Jack, in reply, narrated how he and his friend Gascoigne had saved him from being murdered by two villains; after this reply the young officer appeared to be less inclined for conversation, but before the party broke up requested to have the acquaintance of our two midshipmen.
The commanders of the gun-boats had hailed each other, and agreed to board the Rebiera, but she now had good way on her, and sailed faster than they pulled.
In the course of conversation, Jack enquired of him whether he was acquainted with Don Rebiera, to which the Sicilian answered in the affirmative, and they talked about the different members of the family.
" Harbour," resumed the secretary, reading, "`and sentenced by the Military Commandant to the galleys for life. Their names are as follows " "Stop," interrupted George again, and, fumbling in his pocket, he produced a document the one that Don Manuel Rebiera had furnished him with upon the first day of the Nonsuch's visit to San Juan and carefully unfolded it.
The Rebiera received pratique, and Jack hastened on shore with Don Philip and his brother, and was once more in company of Agnes, who, in our hero's opinion, had improved since his departure. Most young men in love think the same after an absence, provided it is not too long.
