said I , waving my cap . `` And there 's an end to Captain Silver ! '' He watched me keenly and slyly , his chin all the while on his breast . `` I reckon , '' he said at last , `` I reckon , Cap'n Hawkins , you 'll kind of want to get ashore now . S'pose we talks . '' `` Why , yes , '' says I , `` with all my heart , Mr. Hands . Say on . '' And I went back to my meal with a good appetite . `` This man , '' he began , nodding feebly at the corpse '' -- O'Brien were his name , a rank Irelander -- this man and me got the canvas on her , meaning for to sail her back . Well , HE 'S dead now , he is -- as dead as bilge ; and who 's to sail this ship , I do n't see . Without I gives you a hint , you ai n't that man , as far 's I can tell . Now , look here , you gives me food and drink and a old scarf or ankecher to tie my wound up , you do , and I 'll tell you how to sail her , and that 's about square all round , I take it . '' `` I 'll tell you one thing , '' says I : `` I 'm not going back to Captain Kidd 's anchorage . I mean to get into North Inlet and beach her quietly there . '' `` To be sure you did , '' he cried . `` Why , I ai n't sich an infernal lubber after all . I can see , ca n't I ? I 've tried my fling , I have , and I 've lost , and it 's you has the wind of me . North Inlet ? Why , I have n't no ch ` ice , not I !
I 'd help you XXXXX her up to Execution Dock , by thunder !
