Here come the gigs, sir, said I.
Give way then, cried the captain.
We mustn't mind if we swamp her now.
If we can't get ashore all's up.
Only one of the gigs is being manned, sir, I added, the crew of the other, most likely going round by shore to cut us off.
They'll have a hot run, sir, returned the captain.
Jack ashore, you know.
It's not them, I mind.
It's the round shot.
And we'll hold water.
In the meanwhile, we had been making headway at a good pace for a boat so overloaded, and we had shipped but little water in the process.
We were now close in, thirty or forty strokes, and we should beach her, for the ebb had already disclosed a narrow belt of sand below the clustering trees.
The gig was no longer to be feared.
The little point had already concealed it from our eyes.
The ebb tide, which had so cruelly delayed it,
This was now making reparation and delaying our assailants.
The one source of danger was the gun.
But it was plain that they meant nothing should delay their shot, for they had never so much as looked at their fallen comrade, though he was not dead, and I could see him trying to crawl away.
Ready, cried the squire.
Hold cried the captain, quick as an echo.
