"Struck my head on a limb.","Good!" cried the Admiral, with an expressive look at Captain Acton—"instead," continued Sir William, "of Kingston, Jamaica, to which place her cargo is consigned. We are following her in this clipper, which outsails her by two to one, and we have reason to know that she is now about two days in advance of us. The Minorca is armed: we are not. And your captain will be conferring a very great favour upon us if, seeing that the Phœbe is almost as swift as this schooner, he will allow us to keep him company, so that if we jointly fall in with the Minorca, her crew may be overawed by the guns of the frigate."，"All hunky?" a voice whispered in his ear.，"And," Maddoc resumed, "do you happen to know that he made a will, leaving all he possessed to you?"，The Admiral drummed with his fingers upon the table, looking down."An' phwat is ut?"
