"Now,'' resumed Silver, ''herc it is | You give us the chart to get the treasure by, and drop shooting pool seamen and storing in their heads while asleep. You do that, and well offer you q choice. Either you come Glone aboard of us. once the treasure shipped and then I'll give you my aT5davy upon my word of honor. to clap yol somewhere's safe ashore.

 Capt. Smollett rose from his seat, and knocked Cut the ashes from his spipe in the palm Of his left hand.

 Very wel1,'' said the captain. Now you'n hear me. If you'll come up one by one, urarmed, I'll engage to clap you all in irons, and take you home 10 a fair trial in England.

 ''There!" he cried, that's what I think of ye. Before an hours out, I'll stove in your old b,ock-house like rum punchcon. Laugh, by thunder, laugh! Before an hours out, yell laugh upon the other side. Them that die'll be the lucky ones"
 Ard with dreadful oath he stumbled off. plowed down the sand, was helped across the stockade, after four or five failures, by the man with the flag of truce, and disappeared in an instant afterward among the trees.
