I

'm

with

you

,

sir

,

"

said

he

.

And

the

next

moment

he

and

the

captain

had

dropped

aboard

of

us

,

and

we

had

shoved

off

and

given

way

.

We

were

clear

out

of

the

ship

,

but

not

yet

ashore

in

our

stockade

.

This

fifth

trip

was

quite

different

from

any

of

the

others

.

In

the

first

place

,

the

little

gallipot

of

a

boat

that

we

were

in

was

gravely

overloaded

.

Five

grown

men

,

and

three

of

them

--

Trelawney

,

Redruth

,

and

the

captain

--

over

six

feet

high

,

was

already

more

than

she

was

meant

to

carry

.

Add

to

that

the

powder

,

pork

,

and

bread-bags

.

The

gunwale

was

lipping

astern

.

Several

times

we

shipped

a

little

water

,

and

my

breeches

and

the

tails

of

my

coat

were

all

soaking

wet

before

we

had

gone

a

hundred

yards

.

The

captain

made

us

trim

the

boat

,

and

we

got

her

to

lie

a

little

more

evenly

.

All

the

same

,

we

were

afraid

to

breathe

.

In

the

second

place

,

the

ebb

was

now

making

--

a

strong

rippling

current

running

westward

through

the

basin

,

and

then

south

'

ard

and

seaward

down

the

straits

by

which

we

had

entered

in

the

morning

.

Even

the

ripples

were

a

danger

to

our

overloaded

craft

,

but

the

worst

of

it

was

that

we

were

swept

out

of

our

true

course

and

away

from

our

proper

landing-place

behind

the

point

.

If

we

let

the

current

have

its

way

we

should

come

ashore

beside

the

gigs

,

where

the

pirates

might

appear

at

any

moment

.

I

was

steering

,

while

he

and

Redruth

,

two

fresh

men

,

were

at

the

oars

You

"

I

tried

and

found

by

experiment

that

the

tide

kept

sweeping

us

westward

until

I

had

laid

her

head

due

east

,

or

just

about

right

angles

to

the

way

we

ought

to

go

.

"

We

'll

never

get

ashore

at

this

rate

,

said

I.
