Further than his orders to his
crew, the admiral was saying
nothing. The topsail and jib were
spread, and the sloop glided out
of the estuary. The large man
and his companions had bestowed
themselves with what comfort
they could about the bare deck.
Belize, the thing big in their
minds had been their departure
from that critical shore: and now
that the hazard was so far re.
duced their thoughts were loosed
to the consideration of further
deliverance. But when they saw
the sloop turn and fly up coast
again they relaxed, satisfied with
the course the admiral had taken.
The large man sat at ease, his
spirited blue eyes engaged in the
contemplation OF the navy's COM
