He
bellowed
like
a
bull
and
rushed
for
the
door
with
all
that
were
left
alive
at
his
heels
.
Out
we
ran
,
and
there
on
the
poop
were
the
lieutenant
and
ten
of
his
men
.
The
swing
skylights
above
the
saloon
table
had
been
a
bit
open
,
and
they
had
fired
on
us
through
the
slit
.
We
got
on
them
before
they
could
load
,
and
they
stood
to
it
like
men
;
but
we
had
the
upper
hand
of
them
,
and
in
five
minutes
it
was
all
over
.
My
God
!
was
there
ever
a
slaughter-house
like
that
ship
!
Prendergast
was
like
a
raging
devil
,
and
he
picked
the
soldiers
up
as
if
they
had
been
children
and
threw
them
overboard
alive
or
dead
.
There
was
one
sergeant
that
was
horribly
wounded
and
yet
kept
on
swimming
for
a
surprising
time
until
someone
in
mercy
blew
out
his
brains
.
When
the
fighting
was
over
there
was
no
one
left
of
our
enemies
except
just
the
warders
,
the
mates
,
and
the
doctor
.
"
'
It
was
over
them
that
the
great
quarrel
arose
.
There
were
many
of
us
who
were
glad
enough
to
win
back
our
freedom
,
and
yet
who
had
no
wish
to
have
murder
on
our
souls
.
It
was
one
thing
to
knock
the
soldiers
over
with
their
muskets
in
their
hands
,
and
it
was
another
to
stand
by
while
men
were
being
killed
in
cold
blood
.
Eight
of
us
,
five
convicts
and
three
sailors
,
said
that
we
would
not
see
it
done
.
But
there
was
no
moving
Prendergast
and
those
who
were
with
him
.
Our
only
chance
of
safety
lay
in
making
a
clean
job
of
it
,
said
he
,
and
he
would
not
leave
a
tongue
with
power
to
wag
in
a
witness-box
.
It
nearly
came
to
our
sharing
the
fate
of
the
prisoners
,
but
at
last
he
said
that
if
we
wished
we
might
take
a
boat
and
go
.
We
jumped
at
the
offer
,
for
we
were
already
sick
of
these
blood-thirsty
doings
,
and
we
saw
that
there
would
be
worse
before
it
was
done
.
We
were
given
a
suit
of
sailor
togs
each
,
a
barrel
of
water
,
two
casks
,
one
of
junk
and
one
of
biscuits
,
and
a
compass
.
Prendergast
threw
us
over
a
chart
,
told
us
that
we
were
shipwrecked
mariners
whose
ship
had
foundered
in
Lat
.
15
degrees
and
Long
.
25
degrees
west
,
and
then
cut
the
painter
and
let
us
go
.
"
'
And
now
I
come
to
the
most
surprising
part
of
my
story
,
my
dear
son
.
The
seamen
had
hauled
the
fore-yard
aback
during
the
rising
,
but
now
as
we
left
them
they
brought
it
square
again
,
and
as
there
was
a
light
wind
from
the
north
and
east
the
bark
began
to
draw
slowly
away
from
us
.
Our
boat
lay
,
rising
and
falling
,
upon
the
long
,
smooth
rollers
,
and
Evans
and
I
,
who
were
the
most
educated
of
the
party
,
were
sitting
in
the
sheets
working
out
our
position
and
planning
what
coast
we
should
make
for
.
It
was
a
nice
question
,
for
the
Cape
Verdes
were
about
five
hundred
miles
to
the
north
of
us
,
and
the
African
coast
about
seven
hundred
to
the
east
.
On
the
whole
,
as
the
wind
was
coming
round
to
the
north
,
we
thought
hat
Sierra
Leone
might
be
best
and
turned
our
head
in
that
direction
,
the
bark
being
at
that
time
nearly
hull
down
on
our
starboard
quarter
.
Suddenly
as
we
looked
at
her
we
saw
a
dense
black
cloud
of
smoke
shoot
up
from
her
,
which
hung
like
a
monstrous
tree
upon
the
sky-line
.
A
few
seconds
later
a
roar
like
thunder
burst
upon
our
ears
,
and
as
the
smoke
thinned
away
there
was
no
sign
left
of
the
Gloria
Scott
.
In
an
instant
we
swept
the
boat
's
head
round
again
and
pulled
with
all
our
strength
for
the
place
where
the
haze
still
trailing
over
the
water
marked
the
scene
of
this
catastrophe
.
"
'
It
was
a
long
hour
before
we
reached
it
,
and
at
first
we
feared
that
we
had
come
too
late
to
save
anyone
.
A
splintered
boat
and
a
number
of
crates
and
fragments
of
spars
rising
and
falling
on
the
waves
showed
us
where
the
vessel
had
foundered
;
but
there
was
no
sign
of
life
,
and
we
had
turned
away
in
despair
,
when
we
heard
a
cry
for
help
and
saw
at
some
distance
a
piece
of
wreckage
with
a
man
lying
stretched
across
it
.
When
we
pulled
him
aboard
the
boat
he
proved
to
be
a
young
seaman
of
the
name
of
Hudson
,
who
was
so
burned
and
exhausted
that
he
could
give
us
no
account
of
what
had
happened
until
the
following
morning
.
"
'
It
seemed
that
after
we
had
left
,
Prendergast
and
his
gang
had
proceeded
to
put
to
death
the
five
remaining
prisoners
.
The
two
warders
had
been
shot
and
thrown
overboard
,
and
so
also
had
the
third
mate
.
Prendergast
then
descended
into
the
'
tweendecks
and
with
his
own
hands
cut
the
throat
of
the
unfortunate
surgeon
.
There
only
remained
the
first
mate
,
who
was
a
bold
and
active
man
.
When
he
saw
the
convict
approaching
him
with
the
bloody
knife
in
his
hand
he
kicked
off
his
bonds
,
which
he
had
somehow
contrived
to
loosen
,
and
rushing
down
the
deck
he
plunged
into
the
after-hold
.
A
dozen
convicts
,
who
descended
with
their
pistols
in
search
of
him
,
found
him
with
a
match-box
in
his
hand
seated
beside
an
open
powder-barrel
,
which
was
one
of
the
hundred
carried
on
board
,
and
swearing
that
he
would
blow
all
hands
up
if
he
were
in
any
way
molested
.
An
instant
later
the
explosion
occurred
,
though
Hudson
thought
it
was
caused
by
the
misdirected
bullet
of
one
of
the
convicts
rather
than
the
mate
's
match
.
Be
the
cause
what
it
may
,
it
was
the
end
of
the
Gloria
Scott
and
of
the
rabble
who
held
command
of
her
.
"
'
Such
,
in
a
few
words
,
my
dear
boy
,
is
the
history
of
this
terrible
business
in
which
I
was
involved
.
Next
day
we
were
picked
up
by
the
brig
Hotspur
,
bound
for
Australia
,
whose
captain
found
no
difficulty
in
believing
that
we
were
the
survivors
of
a
passenger
ship
which
had
foundered
.
The
transport
ship
Gloria
Scott
was
set
down
by
the
Admiralty
as
being
lost
at
sea
,
and
no
word
has
ever
leaked
out
as
to
her
true
fate
.
After
an
excellent
voyage
the
Hotspur
landed
us
at
Sydney
,
where
Evans
and
I
changed
our
names
and
made
our
way
to
the
diggings
,
where
,
among
the
crowds
who
were
gathered
from
all
nations
,
we
had
no
difficulty
in
losing
our
former
identities
.
The
rest
I
need
not
relate
.
We
prospered
,
we
travelled
,
we
came
back
as
rich
colonials
to
England
,
and
we
bought
country
estates
.
For
more
than
twenty
years
we
have
led
peaceful
and
useful
lives
,
and
we
hoped
that
our
past
was
forever
buried
.
Imagine
,
then
,
my
feelings
when
in
the
seaman
who
came
to
us
I
recognized
instantly
the
man
who
had
been
picked
off
the
wreck
He
had
tracked
us
down
somehow
and
had
set
himself
to
live
upon
our
fears
.
You
will
understand
now
how
it
was
that
I
strove
to
keep
the
peace
with
him
,
and
you
will
in
some
measure
sympathize
with
me
in
the
fears
which
fill
me
,
now
that
he
has
gone
from
me
to
his
other
victim
with
threats
upon
his
tongue
.
