And

I

thought

it

was

a

ditty

rather

too

dolefully

appropriate

for

a

company

that

had

met

such

cruel

losses

in

the

morning

.

But

,

indeed

,

from

what

I

saw

,

all

these

buccaneers

were

as

callous

as

the

sea

they

sailed

on

.

At

last

the

breeze

came

;

the

schooner

sidled

and

drew

nearer

in

the

dark

;

I

felt

the

hawser

slacken

once

more

,

and

with

a

good

,

tough

effort

,

cut

the

last

fibres

through

.

At

the

time

,

the

schooner

began

to

turn

upon

her

heel

,

spinning

slowly

,

end

for

end

,

across

the

current

.

I

wrought

like

a

fiend

,

for

I

expected

every

moment

to

be

swamped

;

and

since

I

found

I

could

not

push

the

coracle

directly

off

,

I

now

shoved

straight

astern

.

At

length

I

was

clear

of

my

dangerous

neighbour

,

and

just

as

I

gave

the

last

impulsion

,

my

hands

came

across

a

light

cord

that

was

trailing

overboard

across

the

stern

bulwarks

.

Instantly

I

grasped

it

.

Why

I

should

have

done

so

I

can

hardly

say

.

It

was

at

first

mere

instinct

,

but

once

I

had

it

in

my

hands

and

found

it

fast

,

curiosity

began

to

get

the

upper

hand

,

and

I

determined

I

should

have

one

look

through

the

cabin

window

.

I

pulled

in

hand

over

hand

on

the

cord

,

and

when

I

judged

myself

near

enough

,

rose

at

infinite

risk

to

about

half

my

height

and

thus

commanded

the

roof

and

a

slice

of

the

interior

of

the

cabin

.

The

ship

was

talking

,

as

sailors

say

,

loudly

,

treading

the

innumerable

ripples

with

an

incessant

weltering

splash

;

and

until

I

got

my

eye

above

the

window-sill

I

could

not

comprehend

why

the

watchmen

had

taken

no

alarm

Hands

and

his

companion

locked

together

in

deadly

wrestle

,

each

with

a

hand

upon

the

's

throat

.

I

dropped

upon

the

thwart

again

,

none

too

soon

,

for

I

was

near

overboard

.

I

could

see

nothing

for

the

moment

but

these

two

furious

,

encrimsoned

faces

swaying

together

under

the

smoky

lamp

,

and

I

shut

my

eyes

to

let

them

grow

once

more

familiar

with

the

darkness

.
