Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer
Capítulo 13, Página 2
“Tom
Sawyer,
the
Black
Avenger
of
the
Spanish
Main.
Name
your
names.”
“Huck
Finn
the
Red-Handed,
and
Joe
Harper
the
Terror
of
the
Seas.”
Tom
had
furnished
these
titles,
from
his
favorite
literature.
“’Tis
well.
Give
the
countersign.”
Two
hoarse
whispers
delivered
the
same
awful
word
simultaneously
to
the
brooding
night:
“Blood!”
Then
Tom
tumbled
his
ham
over
the
bluff
and
let
himself
down
after
it,
tearing
both
skin
and
clothes
to
some
extent
in
the
effort.
There
was
an
easy,
comfortable
path
along
the
shore
under
the
bluff,
but
it
lacked
the
advantages
of
difficulty
and
danger
so
valued
by
a
pirate.
The
Terror
of
the
Seas
had
brought
a
side
of
bacon,
and
had
about
worn
himself
out
with
getting
it
there.
Finn
the
Red-Handed
had
stolen
a
skillet
and
a
quantity
of
half-cured
leaf
tobacco,
and
had
also
brought
a
few
corn-cobs
to
make
pipes
with.
But
none
of
the
pirates
smoked
or
“chewed”
but
himself.
The
Black
Avenger
of
the
Spanish
Main
said
it
would
never
do
to
start
without
some
fire.
That
was
a
wise
thought;
matches
were
hardly
known
there
in
that
day.
They
saw
a
fire
smouldering
upon
a
great
raft
a
hundred
yards
above,
and
they
went
stealthily
thither
and
helped
themselves
to
a
chunk.
They
made
an
imposing
adventure
of
it,
saying,
“Hist!”
every
now
and
then,
and
suddenly
halting
with
finger
on
lip;
moving
with
hands
on
imaginary
dagger-hilts;
and
giving
orders
in
dismal
whispers
that
if
“the
foe”
stirred,
to
“let
him
have
it
to
the
hilt,”
because
“dead
men
tell
no
tales.”
They
knew
well
enough
that
the
raftsmen
were
all
down
at
the
village
laying
in
stores
or
having
a
spree,
but
still
that
was
no
excuse
for
their
conducting
this
thing
in
an
unpiratical
way.
They
shoved
off,
presently,
Tom
in
command,
Huck
at
the
after
oar
and
Joe
at
the
forward.
Tom
stood
amidships,
gloomy-browed,
and
with
folded
arms,
and
gave
his
orders
in
a
low,
stern
whisper:
