You
see
,
after
we
left
the
boat
an
'
began
to
push
through
the
bushes
,
we
went
straight
for
the
line
of
my
musket
,
as
I
had
expected
.
But
by
some
unlucky
chance
it
did
n't
explode
,
for
I
saw
the
line
torn
away
by
the
men
's
legs
,
and
heard
the
click
o
'
the
lock
;
so
I
fancy
the
priming
had
got
damp
and
did
n't
catch
.
I
was
in
a
great
quandary
now
what
to
do
,
for
I
could
n't
concoct
in
my
mind
,
in
the
hurry
,
any
good
reason
for
firin
'
off
my
piece
.
But
they
say
necessity
's
the
mother
of
invention
;
so
just
as
I
was
giving
it
up
and
clinchin
'
my
teeth
to
bide
the
worst
o
'
t
and
take
what
should
come
,
a
sudden
thought
came
into
my
head
.
I
stepped
out
before
the
rest
,
seemin
'
to
be
awful
anxious
to
be
at
the
savages
,
tripped
my
foot
on
a
fallen
tree
,
plunged
head
foremost
into
a
bush
,
an
'
ov
coorse
my
carbine
exploded
!
Then
came
such
a
screechin
'
from
the
camp
as
I
never
heard
in
all
my
life
.
I
rose
at
once
,
and
was
rushin
'
on
with
the
rest
when
the
captain
called
a
halt
.
"
'
You
did
that
a
purpose
,
you
villain
!
'
he
said
with
a
tremendous
oath
,
and
drawin
'
a
pistol
from
his
belt
,
let
fly
right
into
my
breast
.
I
fell
at
once
,
and
remembered
no
more
till
I
was
startled
and
brought
round
by
the
most
awful
yell
I
ever
heard
in
my
life
--
except
,
maybe
,
the
shrieks
o
'
them
poor
critters
that
were
crushed
to
death
under
yon
big
canoe
.
Jumpin
'
up
,
I
looked
round
,
and
through
the
trees
saw
a
fire
gleamin
'
not
far
off
;
the
light
of
which
showed
me
the
captain
and
men
tied
hand
and
foot
,
each
to
a
post
,
and
the
savages
dancin
'
round
them
like
demons
.
I
had
scarce
looked
for
a
second
when
I
saw
one
o
'
them
go
up
to
the
captain
flourishing
a
knife
,
and
before
I
could
wink
he
plunged
it
into
his
breast
,
while
another
yell
,
like
the
one
that
roused
me
,
rang
upon
my
ear
.
I
did
n't
wait
for
more
,
but
bounding
up
,
went
crashing
through
the
bushes
into
the
woods
.
The
black
fellows
caught
sight
of
me
,
however
,
but
not
in
time
to
prevent
me
jumpin
'
into
the
boat
,
as
you
know
.
"
Bill
seemed
to
be
much
exhausted
after
this
recital
,
and
shuddered
frequently
during
the
narrative
;
so
I
refrained
from
continuing
the
subject
at
that
time
,
and
endeavoured
to
draw
his
mind
to
other
things
.
"
But
now
,
Bill
,
"
said
I
,
"
it
behoves
us
to
think
about
the
future
,
and
what
course
of
action
we
shall
pursue
.
Here
we
are
,
on
the
wide
Pacific
,
in
a
well-appointed
schooner
,
which
is
our
own
--
at
least
,
no
one
has
a
better
claim
to
it
than
we
have
--
and
the
world
lies
before
us
.
Moreover
,
here
comes
a
breeze
,
so
we
must
make
up
our
minds
which
way
to
steer
.
"
"
Ralph
,
boy
,
"
said
my
companion
,
"
it
matters
not
to
me
which
way
we
go
.
I
fear
that
my
time
is
short
now
.
Go
where
you
will
;
I
'm
content
.
"
"
Well
,
then
,
Bill
,
I
think
we
had
better
steer
to
the
Coral
Island
and
see
what
has
become
of
my
dear
old
comrades
,
Jack
and
Peterkin
.
I
believe
the
island
has
no
name
,
but
the
captain
once
pointed
it
out
to
me
on
the
chart
,
and
I
marked
it
afterwards
;
so
,
as
we
know
pretty
well
our
position
just
now
,
I
think
I
can
steer
to
it
.
Then
,
as
to
working
the
vessel
,
it
is
true
I
can
not
hoist
the
sails
single-handed
,
but
luckily
we
have
enough
of
sail
set
already
;
and
if
it
should
come
on
to
blow
a
squall
,
I
could
at
least
drop
the
peaks
of
the
main
and
fore
sails
,
and
clew
them
up
partially
without
help
,
and
throw
her
head
close
into
the
wind
,
so
as
to
keep
her
all
shaking
till
the
violence
of
the
squall
is
past
.
And
if
we
have
continued
light
breezes
,
I
'll
rig
up
a
complication
of
blocks
and
fix
them
to
the
topsail
halyards
,
so
that
I
shall
be
able
to
hoist
the
sails
without
help
.
'
Tis
true
I
'll
require
half-a-day
to
hoist
them
,
but
we
do
n't
need
to
mind
that
.
Then
I
'll
make
a
sort
of
erection
on
deck
to
screen
you
from
the
sun
,
Bill
;
and
if
you
can
only
manage
to
sit
beside
the
tiller
and
steer
for
two
hours
every
day
,
so
as
to
let
me
get
a
nap
,
I
'll
engage
to
let
you
off
duty
all
the
rest
of
the
twenty-four
hours
.
And
if
you
do
n't
feel
able
for
steering
,
I
'll
lash
the
helm
and
heave-to
while
I
get
you
your
breakfasts
and
dinners
;
and
so
we
'll
manage
famously
,
and
soon
reach
the
Coral
Island
.
"
Bill
smiled
faintly
as
I
ran
on
in
this
strain
.
