"You must ask the Captain that, sir, if you want to know," Paul answered. "I have given Mr Lawrence the command of my ship, sister," said Captain Acton. "An' you'll see that Ringdo don't bite me, Bill?" pleaded Anson. "You'll keep him off me, won't you?".

Just here a step sounded on the gravel outside and a knock fell on the door. Maurice opened the door and in stepped Anson. She opened her hand. In it lay a shining twenty-dollar gold piece. Billy's mouth fell open in astonishment. Captain Weaver was carrying out the instructions he had received at Old Harbour Town. He was chasing the Minorca.

For the Aurora was unarmed, whilst the Minorca mounted four pieces of artillery, and was in command of a naturally desperate fighting and fearless spirit, one whose neck would certainly be broken by the hangman if he was taken: unless indeed his crew turned upon him, and backed their yards and stopped the ship, that her owner might come by his own, despite Mr Lawrence's levelled[Pg 390] pistol or any threats he might make use of in reference to the powder magazine. "But," Captain Weaver had thought to himself on several occasions, "time enough to know what's a-going to happen when we heave the Minorca into view or draw abreast of her, for who's to tell but that we are bound to miss her, in which case we shall receive her at Rio, providing her skipper hasn't got scent of us and shifted his hellum for another port, and then there can be no blazing away of carronades on one side and a trimming of sail to keep clear of shot on the other." Billy put the basket down again. "Say, what did she want with all that hoarhound candy?" he asked curiously..
