Peter regretfully unhitched the noose from Dones neck and administered a shove which sent him reeling across the deck, to carom Into the butt of the mizzenmast, recoiling with the loss of a broken tooth and ending up In a battered heap at Murrays feet.

A second lookout was sent into the foretop, and the watch on deck were continually on the alert. My great-unclpaced the deck with measured strides throughout the afternoon, his head bent upon his chest not a word for anybody. When night caine he supervised the hoisting of two lanthorns, red and green, one above the other, to the main truck : and he ate very little of the excellent meal which Silver cooked in the galley and Darby served us In the cabin. Peter was almost himself again, although he dared eat but little and suffered qualms when the brig rolled much from the perpendicular.
