Why
,
so
,
"
he
replied
:
"
you
take
a
line
ashore
there
on
the
other
side
at
low
water
,
take
a
turn
about
one
of
them
big
pines
;
bring
it
back
,
take
a
turn
around
the
capstan
,
and
lie
to
for
the
tide
.
Come

And

you

We

now
,
and
she
's
too
much

her
.
Starboard

"
So
he
issued
his
commands
,
which
I
breathlessly
obeyed
,
till
,
all
of
a
sudden
,
he
cried
,
"
Now
,
my
hearty
,
luff
!
"
And
I
put
the
helm
hard
up
,
and
the
Hispaniola
swung
round
rapidly
and
ran
stem
on
for
the
low
,
wooded
shore
.

The
excitement
of
these
last
manoeuvres
had
somewhat
interfered
with
the
watch
I
had
kept
hitherto
,
sharply
enough
,
upon
the
coxswain
.
Even
then
I
was
still
so
much
interested
,
waiting
for
the
ship
to
touch
,
that
I
had
quite
forgot
the
peril
that
hung
over
my
head
and
stood
craning
over
the
starboard
bulwarks
and
watching
the
ripples
spreading
wide
before
the
bows
.
I
might
have
fallen
without
a
struggle
for
my
life
had
not
a
sudden
disquietude
seized
upon
me
and
made
me
turn
my
head
.
Perhaps

I
I
had
had

shadow

moving

with

hand

.
.
We
must
both
have
cried
out
aloud
when
our
eyes
met
,
but
while
mine
was
the
shrill
cry
of
terror
,
his
was
a
roar
of
fury
like
a
charging
bully
's
.
At
the
same
instant
,
he
threw
himself
forward
and
I
leapt
sideways
towards
the
bows
.
As
I
did
so
,
I
let
go
of
the
tiller
,
which
sprang
sharp
to
leeward
,
and
I
think
this
saved
my
life
,
for
it
struck
Hands
across
the
chest
and
stopped
him
,
for
the
moment
,
dead
.
Before

I

Just
forward
of
the
main-mast
I
stopped
,
drew
a
pistol
from
my
pocket
,
took
a
cool
aim
,
though
he
had
already
turned
and
was
once
more
coming
directly
after
me
,
and
drew
the
trigger
.
The
hammer
fell
,
but
there
followed
neither
flash
nor
sound
;
the
priming
was
useless
with
sea-water
.
I
cursed
myself
for
my
neglect
.
Why
had
not
I
,
long
before
,
reprimed
and
reloaded
my
only
weapons
?
Then
I
should
not
have
been
as
now
,
a
mere
fleeing
sheep
before
this
butcher
.

I

for
I
was

it
would
be

Once
so
caught
,
and
nine
or
ten
inches
of
the
blood-stained
dirk
would
be
my
last
experience
on
this
side
of
eternity
.
I
I
placed

Seeing
that
I
meant
to

,
he
also
paused
;
and
a
moment
or
two
passed
in
feints
on
his
part
and
corresponding
movements
upon
mine
.
It
was
such
a
game
as
I
had
often
played
at
home
about
the
rocks
of
Black
Hill
Cove
,
but
never
before
,
you
may
be
sure
,
with
such
a
wildly
beating
heart
as
now
.
Still
,
as
I
say
,
it
was
a
boy
's
game
,
and
I
thought
I
could
hold
my
own
at
it
against
an
elderly
seaman
with
a
wounded
thigh
.
Indeed
my
courage
had
begun
to
rise
so
high
that
I
allowed
myself
a
few
darting
thoughts
on
what
would
be
the
end
of
the
affair
,
and
while
I
saw
certainly
that
I
could
spin
it
out
for
long
,
I
saw
no
hope
of
any
ultimate
escape
.
