"
Well
,
you
ought
to
be
a
good
judge
,
"
cried
another
,
laughing
,
"
for
you
've
never
kept
any
company
but
the
worst
all
your
life
!
"
"
Ralph
Rover
!
"
shouted
a
voice
down
the
hatchway
;
"
captain
wants
you
,
aft
.
"
Springing
up
the
ladder
,
I
hastened
to
the
cabin
,
pondering
as
I
went
the
strange
testimony
borne
by
these
men
to
the
effect
of
the
Gospel
on
savage
natures
--
testimony
which
,
as
it
was
perfectly
disinterested
,
I
had
no
doubt
whatever
was
strictly
true
.
On
coming
again
on
deck
I
found
Bloody
Bill
at
the
helm
,
and
as
we
were
alone
together
,
I
tried
to
draw
him
into
conversation
.
After
repeating
to
him
the
conversation
in
the
forecastle
about
the
missionaries
,
I
said
:
"
Tell
me
,
Bill
:
is
this
schooner
really
a
trader
in
sandal-wood
?
"
"
Yes
,
Ralph
,
she
is
;
but
she
's
just
as
really
a
pirate
.
The
black
flag
you
saw
flying
at
the
peak
was
no
deception
.
"
"
Then
how
can
you
say
she
's
a
trader
?
"
asked
I.
"
Why
,
as
to
that
,
she
trades
when
she
ca
n't
take
by
force
;
but
she
takes
by
force
when
she
can
,
in
preference
.
Ralph
,
"
he
added
,
lowering
his
voice
,
"
if
you
had
seen
the
bloody
deeds
that
I
have
witnessed
done
on
these
decks
,
you
would
not
need
to
ask
if
we
were
pirates
.
But
you
'll
find
it
out
soon
enough
.
As
for
the
missionaries
,
the
captain
favours
them
because
they
are
useful
to
him
.
The
South
Sea
Islanders
are
such
incarnate
fiends
that
they
are
the
better
of
being
tamed
,
and
the
missionaries
are
the
only
men
who
can
do
it
.
"
Our
track
after
this
lay
through
several
clusters
of
small
islets
,
among
which
we
were
becalmed
more
than
once
.
During
this
part
of
our
voyage
the
watch
on
deck
and
the
lookout
at
the
masthead
were
more
than
usually
vigilant
,
as
we
were
not
only
in
danger
of
being
attacked
by
the
natives
(
who
,
I
learned
from
the
captain
's
remarks
,
were
a
bloody
and
deceitful
tribe
at
this
group
)
,
but
we
were
also
exposed
to
much
risk
from
the
multitudes
of
coral
reefs
that
rose
up
in
the
channels
between
the
islands
--
some
of
them
just
above
the
surface
,
others
a
few
feet
below
it
.
Our
precautions
against
the
savages
,
I
found
,
were
indeed
necessary
.
