It is because you have not yet had time to perreive under the husk of n pirate, the nature and the character of n seaman and a gentleman. Pope walked aft to Grindnl, and the girl, hurriedly opened a newspaper, held It wide to conceal her burning cheeks. Grindal. says Pope, go and tell Bobbin to lay aft and keep a lookout, and come you Into my cabin, for I want to have a few words with you. He then went below, and sat at the table in his cabin, and sank his head upon his hand and mused. Around him lay the spoils of the cruise so far as it had gone. Plenty of money was represented by the booty, but It was plenty for one or two only; when It came to dividing It into flve-antwenty or thirty portions, the worth of the plunder, per man, sank into Insignificance. Grindal knocked upon his door with a flat like a calking mallet Pope bade him enter, and the boatswain stepped In. Sit you down, says Pope, "you are an old hand, and an honest mso, and I want to have some talk with you." The boatswain seated himself upon a locker, and rested his elbow upon a case of guineas. Pope threw a cigar across to him. "I am going to take you into my confidence, Grindal, said the captain. I am a little afraid that Mr. Crystal is no longer to be depended upon. He is troubled by his cousin, by the lady, being in this ship. I don't say his desire is to breed a mutiny, yet I allow his wish is to end this1 cruise soon, and go ashore In safety with his cousin." Tvs heard nothing of this, answered the boatswain, hoarsely. "All the plunder we've got so far, said Pope, Is here. Cast your eyes over It, and you'll find It don't work out In value per head as It should. The boatswain ran a blood-slieye over several parcels. Now, continued Pope, speaking softly, "If Mr. Crystals not satisfied, hes not of us, nor with us In spirit, and the sooner he goes the better. "Thats right enough! said the boatswain. "There's some of the crew, Pope steadily pulsing his way with a vigor- went on, "aa we could manage to do ous right arm toward the brig. without Not Just yet not until we He easily got Into the boat, after fall in with that Indiaman were on handing his little black parcel over the lookout for.
