`` The captain 's wounded , '' said Mr. Trelawney . `` Have they run ? '' asked Mr. Smollett . `` All that could , you may be bound , '' returned the doctor ; `` but there 's five of them will never run again . '' `` Five ! '' cried the captain . `` Come , that 's better . Five against three leaves us four to nine . That 's better odds than we had at starting . We were seven to nineteen then , or thought we were , and that 's as bad to bear . '' * * The mutineers were soon only eight in number , for the man shot by Mr. Trelawney on board the schooner died that same evening of his wound . But this was , of course , not known till after by the faithful party . PART FIVE -- My Sea Adventure 22 How My Sea Adventure Began THERE was no return of the mutineers -- not so much as another shot out of the woods . They had `` got their rations for that day , '' as the captain put it , and we had the place to ourselves and a quiet time to overhaul the wounded and get dinner . Squire and I cooked outside in spite of the danger , and even outside we could hardly tell what we were at , for horror of the loud groans that reached us from the doctor 's patients . Out of the eight men who had fallen in the action , only three still breathed -- that one of the pirates who had been shot at the loophole , Hunter , and Captain Smollett ; and of these , the first two were as good as dead ; the mutineer indeed died under the doctor 's knife , and Hunter , do what we could , never recovered consciousness in this world . He lingered all day , breathing loudly like the old buccaneer at home in his apoplectic fit , but the bones of his chest had been crushed by the blow and his skull fractured in falling , and some time in the following night , without sign or sound , he went to his Maker . As for the captain , his wounds were grievous indeed , but not dangerous . No organ was fatally injured . Anderson 's ball -- for it was Job that shot him first -- had broken his shoulder-blade and touched the lung , not badly ; the second had only torn and displaced some muscles in the calf .
He was sure to recover , the doctor XXXXX , but in the meantime , and for weeks to come , he must not walk nor move his arm , nor so much as speak when he could help it .
