Not only that, but it flashed into my mind at the same moment that the round shot and the powder for the gun had been left behind, and a stroke with an axe would put it all into the possession of the evil ones aboard.

Israel was Flint's gunner, said Gray hoarsely.

At any risk we put the boat's head direct for the landing place.

By this time we had got so far out of the run of the current that we kept steerage way even to our necessarily gentle rate of rowing, and I could keep her steady for the goal.

But the worst of it was that with the course I now held, we turned our broadside, instead of our stern, to the Hispaniola, and offered a target like a barn door.

I could hear as well as see that brandy faced rascal Israel Hans plumping down a round shot on the deck.

Who's the best shot?

asked the captain.

Mr.

Trelawney, out and away, said I.

Mr Trelawney, will you please pick me off one of these men?

Hands if possible, said the captain.

Trelawney was as cool as steel.

He looked to the priming of his gun.

Now, cried the captain, easy with that gun, sir, or you'll swamp the boat.

All hands stand by to trim her when he aims.

The squire raised his gun, the rowing ceased, and we leaned over to the other side to keep the balance, and all was so nicely contrived that we did not ship a drop.

They had the gun, by this time, slewed round upon the swivel, and Hans, who was at the muzzle with the ramer, was in consequence the most exposed.

However, we had no luck, for just as Trelawney fired, down he stooped, the ball whistled over him, and it was one of the other four who fell.

The cry he gave was echoed not only by his companions on board, but by a great number of voices from the shore, and looking in that direction I saw the other pirates trooping out from among the trees and tumbling into their places in the boats.
