“Courses,
tops’ls,
and
flying-jib,
sir.”
“Send
the
r’yals
up!
Lay
out
aloft,
there,
half
a
dozen
of
ye—foretopmaststuns’l!
Lively,
now!”
“Aye-aye,
sir!”
“Shake
out
that
maintogalans’l!
Sheets
and
braces!
now
my
hearties!”
“Aye-aye,
sir!”
“Hellum-a-lee—hard
a
port!
Stand
by
to
meet
her
when
she
comes!
Port,
port!
Now,
men!
With
a
will!
Stead-y-y-y!”
“Steady
it
is,
sir!”
The
raft
drew
beyond
the
middle
of
the
river;
the
boys
pointed
her
head
right,
and
then
lay
on
their
oars.
The
river
was
not
high,
so
there
was
not
more
than
a
two
or
three
mile
current.
Hardly
a
word
was
said
during
the
next
three-quarters
of
an
hour.
Now
the
raft
was
passing
before
the
distant
town.
Two
or
three
glimmering
lights
showed
where
it
lay,
peacefully
sleeping,
beyond
the
vague
vast
sweep
of
star-gemmed
water,
unconscious
of
the
tremendous
event
that
was
happening.
The
Black
Avenger
stood
still
with
folded
arms,
“looking
his
last”
upon
the
scene
of
his
former
joys
and
his
later
sufferings,
and
wishing
“she”
could
see
him
now,
abroad
on
the
wild
sea,
facing
peril
and
death
with
dauntless
heart,
going
to
his
doom
with
a
grim
smile
on
his
lips.
It
was
but
a
small
strain
on
his
imagination
to
remove
Jackson’s
Island
beyond
eye-shot
of
the
village,
and
so
he
“looked
his
last”
with
a
broken
and
satisfied
heart.
The
other
pirates
were
looking
their
last,
too;
and
they
all
looked
so
long
that
they
came
near
letting
the
current
drift
them
out
of
the
range
of
the
island.
But
they
discovered
the
danger
in
time,
and
made
shift
to
avert
it.
About
two
o’clock
in
the
morning
the
raft
grounded
on
the
bar
two
hundred
yards
above
the
head
of
the
island,
and
they
waded
back
and
forth
until
they
had
landed
their
freight.
Part
of
the
little
raft’s
belongings
consisted
of
an
old
sail,
and
this
they
spread
over
a
nook
in
the
bushes
for
a
tent
to
shelter
their
provisions;
but
they
themselves
would
sleep
in
the
open
air
in
good
weather,
as
became
outlaws.
