He was the bloodthirstiest buccaneer that sailed . Blackbeard was a child to Flint . The Spaniards were so prodigiously afraid of him that , I tell you , sir , I was sometimes proud he was an Englishman . I 've seen his top-sails with these eyes , off Trinidad , and the cowardly son of a rum-puncheon that I sailed with put back -- put back , sir , into Port of Spain . '' `` Well , I 've heard of him myself , in England , '' said the doctor . `` But the point is , had he money ? '' `` Money ! '' cried the squire . `` Have you heard the story ? What were these villains after but money ? What do they care for but money ? For what would they risk their rascal carcasses but money ? '' `` That we shall soon know , '' replied the doctor . `` But you are so confoundedly hot-headed and exclamatory that I can not get a word in . What I want to know is this : Supposing that I have here in my pocket some clue to where Flint buried his treasure , will that treasure amount to much ? '' `` Amount , sir ! '' cried the squire . `` It will amount to this : If we have the clue you talk about , I fit out a ship in Bristol dock , and take you and Hawkins here along , and I 'll have that treasure if I search a year . '' `` Very well , '' said the doctor . `` Now , then , if Jim is agreeable , we 'll open the packet '' ; and he laid it before him on the table .
The bundle was sewn together , and the doctor had to XXXXX out his instrument case and cut the stitches with his medical scissors .
