CHAPTER XXVIL
"PIECES OK EIGHT."
Owinp to the cant of the vessel the
mofits hung far out over the water, an>l
from my perch on the cross-trees I
luul nothing below me but the sur
face of the bay. Hands, who win not
so far up, was, In consequence, nearer
to the ship, and fell between me and
the bulwarks. He rose once to the
surface in a lather of foam and blood
nn<l then sunk again for good. As the
water settled 1 could see him lying
huddled together on the clean, bright
Hand In the shadow of the vessel's
sides. A fish or two whipped past his
body. Sometimes, by the quivering of
the water, he appeared to move a little,
us if be were trying to rise. I!ut. be
was dead enough, for all that, being
both shot nml drowned, and wns food
for fish in the very place where he had
designed my slaughter.
I was no sooner certain of this than
I began to feel sick, faint and terri
fied. The hot. blood was running over
my back and chest. The ilirk, where it
bad pinned my shoulder to the must,
seemed to burn like a hot iron; yet
it was not so much these real sufTer
ingjs that distressed me, for these, It
seemed to me, I could bear without a
murmur; it was the horror I had upon
my mind of failing from the cross
trees into that still green water, beside
the body of the cockswain.
1 clung with both hands till my nails
nched, and 1 shut nijr eyes iis if to
cover up the peril. Gradually iny mind
came back again, my pulse quieted
down to u more natural time, and I
was once more In possession of myself.
It was my first thought to pluck
forth the dirk; but cither it stuck too
hard or my nerve failed me, and I de
sisted with a violent shudder. Oddly
enough that very shudder did the busi
ness. The knife, in fact, had come the
nearest in the world to missing me
altogether; it held me by a mere pinch
of sit-in, and Ibis the shudder tore away.
The blood ran down the faster, to be
sure; but I was my own master again
and only tacked to the mast by my
coat and shirt.
These last I broke til rough with a
sudden jerk and then regained the deck
by the starboard shrquds. For noth
ing in the world would I have again ven
tured, shaken as I was, upon theover
hnnging port shrouds, from which Is
rael had sii lately fallen.
I went below and did what. I could
for my wound; It pained me a great
deal and still bled freely; but It wan
neither deep nor dangerous, nor did II
greatly gall me when I used my arm.
Then I looked around me, and as the

began to think of clearing it from Its
hist passenger the dead man, O'Brleu.
lie had pitched, na I have said, against
the bulwarks, where be lay like, some
horrible, ungainly sort of puppet; life
size. Indeed, but how different from
life's color or life's comeliness! In that
position 1 could easily have my way
with him, and as the habit of tragical
adventures bud worn oIT almost all mji
terror for the dead, I took him by the
waist, as if he h.'ul been a sock of bran
end, with one good heave, tumbled him
overboard. He went in with a sounding
plunge, the red cap eamo oIT and re
mained floating on the surface, and an
soon us the splash subsided 1 could see
him and Israel lying side by side, both
wavering with the Iremulous move'ment
of the water. O'llrien, though slill
quite, a young man, was \ery bald.
There ho lay, with that bald head
across the knees of the mail who had
i killed him aiul the quick fishes steering i
to and fro over both.
I was now aloue upon the ship; the
tide had just turned. Tiie sun was 1
within so few degree.? of setting that |
already the shadow of the pines upon .
the western shore began to reach right j
across the anchorage and fall in pat- j
terns on the deck. Ihe evening breeze j
had sprung up, and though it was well j
warded oIT by tlie hill with the two
peaks upon the ea.-:t, the cordage had be
gun to sitig a little softly to itself and
the idle sails to rattle to and fro.
I began to see a danger to the ship.
The jibs I speedil}' doused and brought
tumbling to the deck; but the mainsail
was a harder matter. Of course, when
the schooner canted over the boom had
1 swung out-board and the cap of it and
a foot or two of sail hung even under
water. I thought this made it still more
dangerous; yet the strain was so heavy
that I half feared to meddle. At last
I got my knife and cut the halyardy.
The peak dropped instantly, a great
belly of loose canvas floated broad upon
the water, and since, pull as I liked, I
could not budge the downhaul, that
was the extent of what I could accom
plish. For the rest, the "Hispaniola"
| must trust to luck, like myself.
By this time the whole anchorage had
fallen into shadow —the last rays, I re
i member, falling through a glade of the
; wood and shining, bright as jewels, on
the flowery mantle of the wreck. It
began to be chill, the tide was rapidly
| ileetlng seaward, the schooner settling
' more and more on her beam-ends,
j I scrambled forward and looked over.
It seemed shallow enough and, holding
' the cut hawser in both hands for a last
| security, I let myself drop softly over
! board. The water scarcely reached my
| waist, the sand was Arm and covered
with ripple marks, and I waded ashore
| in great spirits, leaving the "Hispani
i ola" on her side, with her mainsail trail
ing wide upon the surface of the bay.
About the same time the sun went fair
ly down and the breeze whistled low in
the dusk among the tossing pines.
At least, and at last, I was off the
sea, nor had I returned thence empty
handed. There lay the schooner, clear
at last from buccaneers and ready for
our own men to l>oard and get to sea
again. 1 had nothing nearer my fancy
than to get home to the stockade and
boast of my achievements. Possibly I
might be blamed a bit for my truantry,
but the recapture of the "Hispaniola"
was a clinching answer, and I hoped
that even Capt. Smollett would con
fess I had not lost my time.
So thinking, and in famous spirits, 1
began to set my face honmuard for the
block-house and my companions. I re
membered that the most easterly of the
rivers which drain into Capt. Kidd's
anchorage ran from the two-peaked hill
upon my left, and I bent my course
in that direction that I might pass the
stream while it was small. The wood
was pretty open, and, keeping nlony
the lower spurs, 1 soon turned the cor
ner of that bill, and not long after
waded to the mid-calf across the water
course.
This brought me near to where I en
countered Ben Gunn, the maroon, and I
walked more circumspectly, keeping
an eye on every side. The dusk had
come nigh hand completely, and, as 1
opened out the cleft between the two
peaks, I became aware of a waver
ing glow against the sky, where, as I
judged, the man of the island was cook
ing his supper before a roaring fire.
And yet I wondered, in my heart, thut
he should show himself so cureless.
I For if I could see this radiance, might
it not reach the eye of Silver himself
I where he camped upon the shore
among the marshes?
Gradually the night fell blacker; it
was all I could do to guide my
-1 self even roughly toward my des
-1 filiation; the double hill behind me
and the Spy-glass on my right
1 hand loomed faint and fointer;
the stars were few and pale; and in
• the low ground where I wandered 1
' kept tripping among the bushes and
rolling Into sandy pits.
Suddenly u kind of brightness fell
about me. I looked up; a pale glim
mer of moonbeams hud alighted on the
summit of the Spy-glass, and soon aft
er I saw something broad and silvery
moving low down behind the trees,
and knew the moon had risen.
With this to help me I passed rapid
ly over what remained to me' of my
journey; and, sometimes walking,
sometimes running, impatiently drew
near to the stockade. Yet, as 1 began
to thread the grove that lies before it,
I was not so thoughtless but that I
slacked my pace and went a trifle war-
I* ily. It would have been a poor end to
I my adventures to get shot down by
I my own party In mistake.
The moon was climbing higher anil
higher; its light began to full here and
there In masses through the more
open districts of the wood, and right in
front r»f me a glow of a different color
appeared among the trees. It was red
and hot. and now and nirain it was a
little darkened us it were the embers
of u bonfire smoldering.
For the life of me I could not think
what it might be.
At lust I clime right down upon the
borders of the clearing. Ihe western
end was already steeped in moonshine;
the rest, und the block-house itself, still
lay in u black shadow, checkered with
long silvery si reaks of light. On the oth
er side of the houscan immensoflrc had
burned itself Into clear embers, and
shed a steady, red reverberation, con
trasted strongly with the mellow pale-
I ness of the moon. There was not n
t soul stirring, nor a sound beside the
noises of the breeze.
I stopped, with much wonder iu my
heart, and perhaps u litlle terror also.
It. had not been our »;iylo build great
fire ; we were. Indeed, by the cap
tain's orders, somewhat, niggardly of
firewood; and l began to fear that
something liu'd gone wrong while I
was absent.
I stole, round by the eastern end.
keeping close in shadow, and at a con
venient place where the darkness was
thickest, crossed the palisade.
To make assurance surer, I got upon
my hands und knees, and era wled, w'tli
out a word, toward the corner of the
house. As I drew nearer, my lieurt
was suddenly and greatly lightened.
It wa not a ple.iKunt noise In Itself,
and I had often complained of It nt
other times, but just then it wns like
music to hear my friend* snoring to
gethci so loud and peaceful in their
sleep. The sea-cr.v or the watch, that
' beautiful "All's well." never fell more
reassuringly on my car.
I In the meantime, there was no doubt
of one 'thirpr; they kept an infamous
bad -watch. If it had been Silver an<l his
lads that were now creeping in on them,
not a soul would have seen daybreak.
That was what it was, thought I. to
have the captain wounded; and again
I blamed myself sharply for leaving
tliem in that danger wfth so few to
mount guard.
By this time I had pot to the door ar.d
stood up. All was dark within, so that
I could distinguish nothing by the eye.
As for sounds, there was the steady
drone of the sn .rers, and a small occa
sional noise, a flickeringor pecking that
I could in no way account for.
With my arms before me I walked
steadily in. I should lie down in mj
own place (I thought, with a silent
chuckle) and enjoy their faces when
they found me in the morning-. My
foot struck something yielding—it was
a sleeper's leg; and he turned and
groaned, but without awaking.
And then, all of a sudden, a shrill
voice broke forth out of the darkness:
"Pieces of eight! pieces of eight 1
pieces of eight! pieces of eight!" pieces
of eight!" and so forth, -without pause
or change, like the clacking of a tiny
mill.
Silver's green parrot, Capt, Flint! It
was rtie whom I had heard peckingat a
piece of bark; it was she, keeping bet
ter watch than -any human being, who
thus announced my arrival with her
wearisome refrain,
I had no time left me to recover. At
the sharp, clipping tone of the parrot,
the sleepers awoke and sprung up; and
with a mighty oath, the voice of Silver
cripd:
"Who goes?"
I turned to run, struck violently
against one person, recoiled, and ran
full into the arms of a second, w'ho, for
his part, upon and held me tight.
"Bring- a torch, Dick," said Silver,
when my capture was thus assured.
And one of the men left the log-house,
and presently returned with a lighted
brand.
PART VI.
CAPTAIN SILVER.
CHAPTER XTCVIII.
IN THE ENEMY'S CAMP.
The red glare of the torch, lighting
up the interior of the block-house,
showed me the worst of my apprehen
sions realized. The pirateswere in pos
session of the house and stores; there
was a cask of cognac, there were the
pork and bread, as before; and, what
tenfold increased my horror, not a sign
of any prisofter. I could only judge
that all had perished, and my heart
smote me sorely that I ba«l not been
there to perish with them.
There were six of the buccaneers, all
told; not another man was left alive.
Five of'them w ere on their feet, flushed
and swollen, suddenly cal!ed out <rf the
first sleep of 'drunkenness. The sixth
had only risen upon his elbow; he was
deadly pale, and the blood-stained
l>antfagc round his head told that he
had recently tieen wounded, and still
more recently dressed. I remembered
t he man who h'ad been shot and had run
hack among the woods in the great at
tack, and doubted not that this was he.
The parrot sat, preeningher plumage,
on Loup John's shoulder. lie himself.
I thought, looked somewhat paler and
more stern than. I was used to. lie
still wore his fine broadcloth suit in
whlclThe had ftilfilled his mission, but
It was bitterly the worse for wear,
daubed with clay and torn with the
sharp briars of the wood.
"So." said he, "here's Jim Hawkins,
shiver my timbers! dropped in, like,
eh? Well, come, I take that friendly."
And thereupon he sat down across
the brandy-cask, and began to fill a
pipe.
"Give me the loan of a link, Dick,"
said he; and then, when, he had a good
light, "that'll do, lad," lie added, "stick
the glim in the wood het t>; and you,
gentlemen, bring yourselves tol—you
needn't stand tip for Hawkins; he'll
excuse you, you may lay to that. And
so, Jim" —stopping the tobacco —"hero
you are, and quite a pleasant surprise
for poor old John. I sec you were smart
when first I set my eyc« on you; but
this here gets away from me clean. It
do."
To all this, us may 1M- well supposed,
I made no answer. They had set me
with my back against the wall; and I
stood (liere, looking Silver in the face,
pluckily enough, T hope, to nil outward
appearance, but with black despair in
my heurt.
Silver took a whilT or two of his pipe
willi great composure, and then ran on
agnl n.
"Now, you see, Jim, so be as you ore
here," says he, "I'll give you a piece of
my mind. I've always liked you, I have,
for a lad of spirit, and the plctcr of my
own self when I was young and hand
some. I always wanted you to jine and
take your share, and die a gentleman,
and now, my cock, you've got to. Cap'u
Smollett's a line seaman, as I'll orwn up
to any day, but stiiff on discipline.
"Dooty is dooty,' says he, and right he
is. Just you keep clear of the cap'n.
The d-octor himself is gone dead again
you—'ungrateful scamp' was what he
said; and the short, and the long of the
whole story is about here; you can't go
bark to your own lot, for I hey wou't
have you; and, without you start a third
ship's company all by yourself, which
might 1m; lonely, you'll have to jine with
Cnp'n Silver."
So far so good. My friends, then,
were still alive, and though I partly be
lieved the truth of Silver's statement,
that the cabin party were incensed at
rue for my desertion, I was more re
lieved than distressed by what I heard.
"I don't say nothing as to your be
ing in our hands," continued Silver,
"though there you are, and you may lay
to It. I'm all for argyinent; I never
seen good come out o' threatening. If
you like the service, well, you'll jine;
and if you don't, Jim, you're free to
answer no—free and welcome, ahlip
inate; and If fairer can lie said by mor
tal seaman, shiver my sides!"
"Am Ito answer, then ?"I asked, with
a very tremulous voice. Through all
this sneering talk, I was made to feel
the thrent of death that- overhung me,
and my checks burned and my heart
beat, painfully In my breast.
"Lad," said Silver, "no one's a-preMS-
Ingofyou. Take your hearings. None
of us won't hurry you, mate; time goes
so ple-isant in your company, you see."
"Well," says I, growing a bit bolder,
"if I'm to choose, 1 declare I have a right
to know what's what, and why you're
here, and where my friends .ire."
"Wot's wot?" repeated one of the buc
caneers, in a deep growl. "Ah, he'd be
s lucky oneusknowed that!"
"You'll perhaps batt*n iVwn your
h(itches till you're spoke, iny friend,"
cried Silver, truculently, to this spenk
or. "YeHtcrdny mortiliiff. Mr. Ilim
hliis," said he, "In the dofr-watrb, down
cnine I»r. Llvesey with u fluff of truce.
Kays lie: '(Vip'n Kilvcr, you'resold out.

'Well,' says Ilic doctor, 'let's lmrgoin.'

to cut, and, in a manner of speaking,
the w hole blessed txxit. from cross-trees
to keelson. As for them, they've
tramped; I don't know Where's they
a re."
He drew again quietly at his pipe
"And lest you should take it into
that head of yours," he went on, "that
you was included in the treaty, here's
the last words that was said: 'How
many are you?' says 1, 'to leave?' "Four,"
says he —'four and one of us wounded.
As for the boy, 1 don't know where
he is, confound him,' says he, 'nor 1
.lon't much care. We're about sick of
him.' These was his words."
"Is that all?" 1 asked.
"Well, it's all you're to hear, my son."
returned Silver.
"And now I am to choose?"
"And now you are to choose, and _\ou
may lay to that," said Silver.
"Well," said I, "I am not such a fool
but 1 know pretty well what I have to
look for. Let the worst come to the
worst, it's little 1 care. I've seen too
many die since I fell in with you. But
■there's a thing or two I have totell yea."
I said, and by this time I was quite ex
cited; "and the first is this: Here you
are in the bad wov: shii> lost. treasure
lest, men lost; your whole business
gone to wreck; and if you want to
know who did it—it was 1! 1 was
in the apple barrel the night you sight
ed land, and I heard you, John, and
you, Dick Johnson, and Hands, who is
now at the bottom of the sea, and told
every word you said before the hour
was out. And as for the schooner, it
w-as 1 who cut her cable, and it was I
who killed the men you had al>oard of
her, and it was 1 who brought her
where you'll never see her more, not
one of you. The laugh's on my side;
I've had the top of this business from
the first; I no more fear you than I fear
a fly. Kill me, if you please, or spare
me. Hut one thing I'll say, and no
more; if you spare me, by-gones are
by-goncs, and, when you fellows are in
court for piracy, I'll save you all 1 can.
It is for you to choose. Kill unother
and do yourself no good, or spare me
and keep a witness to save you from
the gallows."
I stopped, for, I toil you. I was out of
breath, and, to my wonder, not a man
of them moved, but all sat staring at
me like as many sheep. And while
they were still staring, 1 broke out
again:
"And now, Mr. Silver," I said, "1 be
lieve you're the Ibest man here, and if
things go to the worst, I'll take it kind
of you to let the doctor know the way
I took it."
"I'll bear it in mind." said Silver, with
an accent so curious that I could not,
for the life of me, decide whether he
were laughing at my request or had
bct-ri favorably affected by my cour
age.
"I'll put one to that," cried the old
mahogany-faced seaman—Morgan by
name—whom I had seen in Long John's
public house upon the quays of Bristol.
"It was him that knowed Black Dog."
"Well, and sec here," added the sea
cook. "I'll put another nfrain to that,
by thunderl For It was the same boy
that faked the chart from Billy Bones.
First snd last we've split upon Jim
Hawkins!"
"Then here goes!" said' Morgan, with
an oath.
And he sprang up, drawing hla knife
as if he had been twenty.
"Avast, there 1" cried Sliver. "Who
aro you, Tom Morgan? Maybe you
thoucht you were captain here, per
haps. By the powers, I 'll tench you
better! Cross me, and you'll go where
many a good man's gone before you
first and last, these 30 year bock—some
to the yard-arm, shiver my sides! and
some by the board, and all to feed the
fishes. There's never a man looked mo
between the eyes and seen a good day
a'terward, Tom Morgan, you may lay
to that."
Morgan paused; but a hoarse mur
mur rose from the others.
"Tom's right," said one.
"I stood hazing long enough from
one," added another. "I'll bo hanged if
I'll be hazed by you, John Silver."
"Did any of 3"ou gentlemen want to
have it out with me?" roared Silver,
bonding far forward from liis posi
tion on the keg, with his pljpe still
glowing in his right hand. "Put a
name on what you're at; you ain't
dumb, I reckon. 111 m that wants shall
get it. Hav® I lived this many years,

Not a man stirred; not a man an

"That's your sort, IN it?" ho added,
returning hte pipe to h1» mouth. "Well,

There was a long pause after this.
I stood atraight up ngalnst the wall,
my heart still going llWn a sledge-ham
mer, Suit with a ray of hope now
ln K in my botom. Silver leaned back
ngalnat the wall, his arm» crossed, his
pine in tlio comer of hi* raouAh, asciiJtn

the men, "you're pretty free with some

And with nn elaborate sca-salute, this
fellow, a long, ill-looking, yellow-eyed
man of five-and-thirty, stepped' coolly
to ward the door ami disappeared out
of the house. One after another the
rest followed his example; each mak

some apology. "According to the rules,"
said one. "Fo'k's'le council," said Mor
gan. And so. with one remark or an
other, all marched out, and left Silver
and me alone with the torch.
The sea-eook instantly removed his
pipe.
"Now, look here, Jim Hawkins," he
said, in a steady whisper, that was no
more than audible, "you're within half
a plank of death, and what's a long
sight worse, of torture. They're going
to throw me off. Hut you mark, I
stand by you through thick and thin.

much blunt, and be hanged into the
'bargain. But I see you was the right
sort. 1 says to myself: You stand by
Hawkins, John, and Hawkins'll stand
by you. You're his last card, and by
the living thunder, John, he's yours!
Hack to back, says I. You save your
witness, and he'll save your neck!"
I began dimly to understand.
"You mean all is lost?" I asked.
"Ay, by gum, I do!" he answered.
"Ship gone, neck gone—that's the slie
of it. Once T looked into that bay, Jim
Hawkins, and seen no schooner—well,
I'm tough, but gave out. As for that
lot and their council, mark me, they're
outright fools and cowards. I'll 6avc
your life—if so be as I can—from them.
Cut see here, Jim—tit for tat—you save
Long John from swinging."
I was bewildered; It seemed a thing
so hopeless he was asking—he, the old
buccaneer, the ringleader throughout.
"What I can do, that I'll do," I said.
"It's a bargain!" cried Long John.
"You speak up plucky, and, by thunder!
I've a chance."
He hobbled to the torch, where it
stood propped among tlic flicwooil,and
took a fresh light to his pipe.
"Understand me, Jim," he said, re
turning. "I've a head on my shoulders,
I have. I'm on squire's side, now. 1
know you've got that ship safe some
wlieres. How you done it, I don't know,
but safe it is. I guess Hands and
O'Hrien turned soft. I never much be
lieved in neither of them. Now you
mark me. I ask no questions, nor I
won't let others. I know when a game's
up, I do; and I know a lad that's stanch.
Ah, you that's young —you and me
might have done a power of good to
gether!"
He drew some cognnc from the cask
into a tin canikln.
"Will you taste, messmate?" he
asked; and when I had refused: "Well,
I'll take a drain myself, Jim," said he.
"I need a caulker, for there's trouble on
hand. And, talking o' trouble, why did
that doctor give me the chart, Jim?"
My face expressed a wonder so un
affected that he saw the needlessn*s«
of further questions.
"Ah, well, he did, though," said he.
"And there's something underthat.no
doubt —something. ""'l°'

Ami he took another swallow of the
brandy, shaking his great fair head like
a man who looks forward to the worst.
