"
And
yet
he
seems
not
so
contemptible
but
that
you
are
afraid
to
attack
him
.
"
"
Who
said
I
was
afraid
?
"
growled
the
mate
sulkily
.
"
I
'm
as
ready
as
any
man
in
the
ship
.
But
,
captain
,
what
is
it
that
you
intend
to
do
?
"
"
I
intend
to
muffle
the
sweeps
and
row
the
schooner
up
to
the
head
of
the
creek
there
,
from
which
point
we
can
command
the
pile
of
sandal-wood
with
our
gun
.
Then
I
shall
land
with
all
the
men
except
two
,
who
shall
take
care
of
the
schooner
and
be
ready
with
the
boat
to
take
us
off
.
We
can
creep
through
the
woods
to
the
head
of
the
village
,
where
these
cannibals
are
always
dancing
round
their
suppers
of
human
flesh
;
and
if
the
carbines
of
the
men
are
loaded
with
a
heavy
charge
of
buck-shot
,
we
can
drop
forty
or
fifty
at
the
first
volley
.
After
that
the
thing
will
be
easy
enough
.
The
savages
will
take
to
the
mountains
in
a
body
,
and
we
shall
take
what
we
require
,
up
anchor
,
and
away
.
"
To
this
plan
the
mate
at
length
agreed
.
As
he
left
the
cabin
,
I
heard
the
captain
say
:
"
Give
the
men
an
extra
glass
of
grog
,
and
do
n't
forget
the
buck-shot
.
"
The
reader
may
conceive
the
horror
with
which
I
heard
this
murderous
conversation
.
I
immediately
repeated
it
to
Bill
,
who
seemed
much
perplexed
about
it
.
At
length
he
said
:
"
I
'll
tell
you
what
I
'll
do
,
Ralph
.
I
'll
swim
ashore
after
dark
and
fix
a
musket
to
a
tree
not
far
from
the
place
where
we
'll
have
to
land
,
and
I
'll
tie
a
long
string
to
the
trigger
,
so
that
when
our
fellows
cross
it
they
'll
let
it
off
,
and
so
alarm
the
village
in
time
to
prevent
an
attack
,
but
not
in
time
to
prevent
us
gettin
'
back
to
the
boat
.
--
So
,
Master
Captain
,
"
added
Bill
with
a
smile
that
,
for
the
first
time
,
seemed
to
me
to
be
mingled
with
good-natured
cheerfulness
,
"
you
'll
be
balked
at
least
for
once
in
your
life
by
Bloody
Bill
.
"
After
it
grew
dark
,
Bill
put
this
resolve
in
practice
.
He
slipped
over
the
side
with
a
musket
in
his
left
hand
,
while
with
his
right
he
swam
ashore
and
entered
the
woods
.
He
soon
returned
,
having
accomplished
his
purpose
,
and
got
on
board
without
being
seen
,
I
being
the
only
one
on
deck
.
