"
The
darkness
is
our
friend
,
"
the
Capataz
murmured
into
his
ear
.
"
I
am
going
to
lower
the
sail
,
and
trust
our
escape
to
this
black
gulf
.
No
eyes
could
make
us
out
lying
silent
with
a
naked
mast
.
I
will
do
it
now
,
before
this
steamer
closes
still
more
upon
us
.
The
faint
creak
of
a
block
would
betray
us
and
the
San
Tome
treasure
into
the
hands
of
those
thieves
.
"
He
moved
about
as
warily
as
a
cat
.
Decoud
heard
no
sound
;
and
it
was
only
by
the
disappearance
of
the
square
blotch
of
darkness
that
he
knew
the
yard
had
come
down
,
lowered
as
carefully
as
if
it
had
been
made
of
glass
.
Next
moment
he
heard
Nostromo
's
quiet
breathing
by
his
side
.
"
You
had
better
not
move
at
all
from
where
you
are
,
Don
Martin
,
"
advised
the
Capataz
,
earnestly
.
"
You
might
stumble
or
displace
something
which
would
make
a
noise
.
The
sweeps
and
the
punting
poles
are
lying
about
.
Move
not
for
your
life
.
Por
Dios
,
Don
Martin
,
"
he
went
on
in
a
keen
but
friendly
whisper
,
"
I
am
so
desperate
that
if
I
did
n't
know
your
worship
to
be
a
man
of
courage
,
capable
of
standing
stock
still
whatever
happens
,
I
would
drive
my
knife
into
your
heart
.
"
A
deathlike
stillness
surrounded
the
lighter
.
It
was
difficult
to
believe
that
there
was
near
a
steamer
full
of
men
with
many
pairs
of
eyes
peering
from
her
bridge
for
some
hint
of
land
in
the
night
.
Her
steam
had
ceased
blowing
off
,
and
she
remained
stopped
too
far
off
apparently
for
any
other
sound
to
reach
the
lighter
.
"
Perhaps
you
would
,
Capataz
,
"
Decoud
began
in
a
whisper
.
"
However
,
you
need
not
trouble
.
There
are
other
things
than
the
fear
of
your
knife
to
keep
my
heart
steady
.
It
shall
not
betray
you
.
Only
,
have
you
forgotten
--
"
"
I
spoke
to
you
openly
as
to
a
man
as
desperate
as
myself
,
"
explained
the
Capataz
.
"
The
silver
must
be
saved
from
the
Monterists
.
I
told
Captain
Mitchell
three
times
that
I
preferred
to
go
alone
.
I
told
Don
Carlos
Gould
,
too
.
It
was
in
the
Casa
Gould
.
They
had
sent
for
me
.
The
ladies
were
there
;
and
when
I
tried
to
explain
why
I
did
not
wish
to
have
you
with
me
,
they
promised
me
,
both
of
them
,
great
rewards
for
your
safety
.
A
strange
way
to
talk
to
a
man
you
are
sending
out
to
an
almost
certain
death
.
Those
gentlefolk
do
not
seem
to
have
sense
enough
to
understand
what
they
are
giving
one
to
do
.
I
told
them
I
could
do
nothing
for
you
.
You
would
have
been
safer
with
the
bandit
Hernandez
.
It
would
have
been
possible
to
ride
out
of
the
town
with
no
greater
risk
than
a
chance
shot
sent
after
you
in
the
dark
.
But
it
was
as
if
they
had
been
deaf
.
I
had
to
promise
I
would
wait
for
you
under
the
harbour
gate
.
I
did
wait
.
And
now
because
you
are
a
brave
man
you
are
as
safe
as
the
silver
.
Neither
more
nor
less
.
"
At
that
moment
,
as
if
by
way
of
comment
upon
Nostromo
's
words
,
the
invisible
steamer
went
ahead
at
half
speed
only
,
as
could
be
judged
by
the
leisurely
beat
of
her
propeller
.
The
sound
shifted
its
place
markedly
,
but
without
coming
nearer
.
It
even
grew
a
little
more
distant
right
abeam
of
the
lighter
,
and
then
ceased
again
.
"
They
are
trying
for
a
sight
of
the
Isabels
,
"
muttered
Nostromo
,
"
in
order
to
make
for
the
harbour
in
a
straight
line
and
seize
the
Custom
House
with
the
treasure
in
it
.
Have
you
ever
seen
the
Commandant
of
Esmeralda
,
Sotillo
?
A
handsome
fellow
,
with
a
soft
voice
.
When
I
first
came
here
I
used
to
see
him
in
the
Calle
talking
to
the
senoritas
at
the
windows
of
the
houses
,
and
showing
his
white
teeth
all
the
time
.
