If

it

's

the

only

course

that

we

can

lie

,

sir

,

we

must

even

lie

it

,

"

returned

the

captain

.

"

We

must

keep

upstream

.

You

see

,

sir

,

"

he

went

on

,

"

if

once

we

dropped

to

leeward

of

the

landing-place

,

it

's

hard

to

say

where

we

should

get

ashore

,

besides

the

chance

of

being

boarded

by

the

gigs

;

whereas

,

the

way

we

go

the

current

must

slacken

,

and

then

we

can

dodge

back

along

the

shore

.

"

The

current

's

less

a

're

ady

,

sir

,

"

said

the

man

Gray

,

who

was

sitting

in

the

fore-sheets

;

"

you

can

ease

her

off

a

bit

.

"

"

Thank

you

,

my

man

,

"

said

I

,

quite

as

if

nothing

had

happened

,

for

we

had

all

quietly

made

up

our

minds

to

treat

him

like

one

of

ourselves

Suddenly

the

captain

spoke

up

again

,

and

I

thought

his

voice

was

a

little

changed

.

"

The

gun

!

"

said

he

.

"

I

have

thought

of

that

,

"

said

I

,

for

I

made

sure

he

was

thinking

of

a

bombardment

of

the

fort

.

"

They

could

never

get

the

gun

ashore

,

and

if

they

did

,

they

could

never

haul

it

through

the

woods

.

"

"

Look

astern

,

doctor

,

"

replied

the

captain

.

We

had

entirely

forgotten

the

long

nine

;

and

there

,

to

our

horror

,

were

the

five

rogues

busy

about

her

,

getting

off

her

jacket

,

as

they

called

the

stout

tarpaulin

cover

under

which

she

sailed

.

said

Gray

hoarsely

.

At

any

risk

,

we

put

the

boat

's

head

direct

for

the

landing-place
