"There 't is, Cap'in Spike," said Josh, passing the piece up through the rigging, "but 't will no more shoot that thing, than one of our carronades would blow up Gibraltar." By this time Spike was very determined, his lips being compressed and his teeth set, as he took the gun and cocked it. Then he hailed.
Here Jack renewed his endeavours to persuade either Josh or Simon to go in the boat, but without success. The negroes had talked the matter over in their watch, and had come to the conclusion the enterprise was too hazardous. "I tell you, Jack, you does n't know Cap'in Spike as well as I does," Josh said, in continuance of the discourse. "No, you does n't know him at all as well as I does.
I knows Cap'in Spike well; t'ree time I endebber to run myself, and each time he bring me up wid a round turn; so, now-a-days, I nebber t'inks of sich a projeck any longer." "But I do not intend to leave the forecastle without some one on it to answer a hail. No, all I want is a companion; for I do not like to go out on the reef at midnight, all alone.
When you t'ink red-skin come ag'in your fort, cap'in, now you got him done?" "A long time first, I hope, Nick. We are at peace with France, again; and I see no prospect of any new quarrel, very soon. So long as the French and English are at peace, the red men will not dare to touch either." "Dat true as missionary! What a soldier do, cap'in, if so much peace? Warrior love a war-path."
You don't reckel-member, Colonel; but I had Marsa John's coat, an' I wrop it round Cap'in Loynes when he was ca'aied to his ca'aige. Yes, sah, jes above de knee. Marsa John picked him de fust shot." "I remember now. Yes, you are right. The captain always walked a little lame."
His small face was strained with worry, and the crew eyed him respectfully as he came forward and dealt out white satin favours. "Cap'in Barber'll be all right with you looking arter 'im, sir," said Jones, with strong conviction. "That he will," said the cook, nodding.
Oh, what a sight this is. Little did we think, ould captain and I, when we seed this onlucky island agin, little did we think as you was still here. When they brought us up out of the hold, I knowed the spot in a minute. Says I to the cap'in, 'Not content with murdering us they mean to cut our hearts in two.
You know, then, that those fellows have made friends with the hostile party?" "No need know see. Look Injin chop, pale-face look on! Call that war?" "I do see that which satisfies me the men in paint yonder are not all red men." "No cap'in right tell him so at wigwam. But dat Mohawk dog rascal Nick's enemy!"
"Das what the redcoats say; eight dollars fo' one rebel scalp, suh." I sat up, horrified. "Who told you that?" I demanded. "All de gemmen done say so Mars' Varick, Mars' Johnsing, Cap'in Butler." "Bah! they said it to plague you, Cato," I muttered; but as I said it I saw the old slave's eyes and knew that he had told the truth.
What am I to understand by your holding it out in this manner? that you mean to repay me!" "Sartain good quarter just like him cap'in lent Nick. Like as one pea. Nick man of honour; keep his word." "This does look more like it than common, Nick.
