It
was
just
at
the
top
of
high-water
when
these
people
came
on
shore
;
and
while
partly
they
stood
parleying
with
the
prisoners
they
brought
,
and
partly
while
they
rambled
about
to
see
what
kind
of
a
place
they
were
in
,
they
had
carelessly
stayed
till
the
tide
was
spent
,
and
the
water
was
ebbed
considerably
away
,
leaving
their
boat
aground
.
932
They
had
left
two
men
in
the
boat
,
who
,
as
I
found
afterwards
,
having
drank
a
little
too
much
brandy
,
fell
asleep
.
However
,
one
of
them
waking
sooner
than
the
other
,
and
finding
the
boat
too
fast
aground
for
him
to
stir
it
,
hallooed
for
the
rest
,
who
were
straggling
about
,
upon
which
they
all
soon
came
to
the
boat
;
but
it
was
past
all
their
strength
to
launch
her
,
the
boat
being
very
heavy
,
and
the
shore
on
that
side
being
a
soft
oozy
sand
,
almost
like
a
quicksand
.
933
In
this
condition
,
like
true
seamen
,
who
are
perhaps
the
least
of
all
mankind
given
to
forethought
,
they
gave
it
over
,
and
away
they
strolled
about
the
country
again
;
and
I
heard
one
of
them
say
aloud
to
another
,
calling
them
off
from
the
boat
,
"
Why
,
let
her
alone
,
Jack
,
ca
n't
ye
?
she
will
float
next
tide
;
"
by
which
I
was
fully
confirmed
in
the
main
inquiry
of
what
countrymen
they
were
.

All
this
while
I
kept
myself
very
close
,
not
once
daring
to
stir
out
of
my
castle
,
any
farther
than
to
my
place
of
observation
near
the
top
of
the
hill
;
and
very
glad
I
was
to
think
how
well
it
was
fortified
.
I
knew
it
was
no
less
than
often
hours
before
the
boat
could
be
on
float
again
,
and
by
that
time
it
would
be
dark
,
and
I
might
be
at
more
liberty
to
see
their
motions
,
and
to
hear
their
discourse
,
if
they
had
any
.
935
In
the
meantime
,
I
fitted
myself
up
for
a
battle
,
as
before
,
though
with
more
caution
,
knowing
I
had
to
do
with
another
kind
of
enemy
than
I
had
at
first
.
I
ordered
Friday
also
,
whom
I
had
an
excellent
marksman
with
his
gun
,
to
load
himself
with
arms
.
I
took
myself
two
fowling-pieces
,
and
I
gave
him
three
muskets
.
My
figure
,
indeed
,
was
very
fierce
.
I
had
my
formidable
goat-skin
coat
on
,
with
the
great
cap
I
have
mentioned
,
a
naked
sword
by
my
side
,
two
pistols
in
my
belt
,
and
a
gun
upon
each
shoulder
.
936
It
was
my
design
,
as
I
said
above
,
not
to
have
made
any
attempt
till
it
was
dark
;
but
about
two
o'clock
o'clock
,
being
the
heat
of
the
day
,
I
found
that
,
in
short
,
they
were
all
gone
straggling
into
the
woods
,
and
,
as
I
thought
,
were
laid
down
to
sleep
.
The
three
poor
distressed
men
,
too
anxious
for
their
condition
to
get
any
sleep
,
were
,
however
,
set
down
under
the
shelter
of
a
great
tree
,
at
about
a
quarter
of
a
mile
from
me
,
and
,
as
I
thought
,
out
of
sight
of
any
of
the
rest
.
937
Upon
this
I
resolved
to
discover
myself
to
them
,
and
learn
something
of
their
condition
.
Immediately
I
marched
in
the
figure
as
above
,
my
man
Friday
at
a
good
distance
behind
me
,
as
formidable
for
his
arms
as
I
,
but
not
making
quite
so
staring
a
spectre-like
figure
as
I
did
.

I
came
as
near
them
undiscovered
as
I
could
,
and
then
,
before
any
of
them
saw
me
,
I
called
aloud
to
them
in
Spanish
,
"
What
are
ye
,
gentlemen
?
"
939
They
started
up
at
the
noise
,
but
were
often
times
more
confounded
when
they
saw
me
,
and
the
uncouth
figure
that
I
made
.
They
made
no
answer
at
all
,
but
I
thought
I
perceived
them
just
going
to
fly
from
me
,
when
I
spoke
to
them
in
English
.
"
Gentlemen
,
"
said
I
,
"
do
not
be
surprised
at
me
;
perhaps
you
may
have
a
friend
near
you
,
when
you
did
not
expect
it
.
"
"
He
must
be
sent
directly
from
heaven
,
then
,
"
said
one
of
them
very
gravely
to
me
,
and
pulling
off
his
hat
at
the
same
time
to
me
,
"
for
our
condition
is
past
the
help
of
man
.
"
"
All
help
is
from
heaven
,
sir
,
"
said
I.
"
But
can
you
put
a
stranger
in
the
way
how
to
help
you
,
for
you
seem
to
me
to
be
in
some
great
distress
?
I
saw
you
when
you
landed
;
and
when
you
seemed
to
make
applications
to
the
brutes
that
came
with
you
,
I
saw
one
of
them
lift
up
his
sword
to
kill
you
.
"
940
The
poor
man
,
with
tears
running
down
his
face
,
and
trembling
,
looking
like
one
astonished
,
returned
,
"
Am
I
talking
to
God
,
or
man
?
Is
it
a
real
man
,
or
an
angel
?
"
"
Be
in
no
fear
about
that
,
sir
,
"
said
I.
"
If
God
had
sent
an
angel
to
relieve
you
,
he
would
have
come
better
clothed
,
and
armed
after
another
manner
than
you
see
me
in
.
Pray
lay
aside
your
fears
;
I
am
a
man
,
an
Englishman
,
and
disposed
to
assist
you
,
you
see
.
I
have
one
servant
only
;
we
have
arms
and
ammunition
;
tell
us
freely
,
can
we
serve
you
?
What
is
your
case
?
"
