He uttered no more threats, however, and seemed to be anxiously awaiting the reply of Captain Wellsby, who said: "The few medicines and simples in my chest will not suffice your need. Your ships are rotten with the Spanish fever." "A ransom, shipmaster?" exclaimed the pirate. "'Twas in my mind when I flew a white flag for parley.
His father and mother died when he was very young, and he, conjointly with the rats, was left sole owner and occupant of the mill. Some of the neighboring villagers, seeing the poor boy left in this forlorn condition, got him into a charity school, whence he was bound apprentice to a shipmaster engaged in the coal trade, by whom he was sent to sea.
There we are rounding the point, and beyond there are no more cliffs; doubtless it is in this bay that the Shipmaster Edred thinks to anchor." At that moment their conversation was cut short by a tremendous gust of wind rushing down the sloping hill into the bay striking them with such terrible force that the ship heeled over until the water rushed above the bulwark.

Well, have you ever seen a shipmaster walking his own deck as if he did not know what he had underfoot?
