'' And then as he saw the squire 's letter , he seemed to me to give something almost like a start . `` Oh ! '' said he , quite loud , and offering his hand . `` I see . You are our new cabin-boy ; pleased I am to see you . '' And he took my hand in his large firm grasp . Just then one of the customers at the far side rose suddenly and made for the door . It was close by him , and he was out in the street in a moment . But his hurry had attracted my notice , and I recognized him at glance . It was the tallow-faced man , wanting two fingers , who had come first to the Admiral Benbow . `` Oh , '' I cried , `` stop him ! It 's Black Dog ! '' `` I do n't care two coppers who he is , '' cried Silver . `` But he has n't paid his score . Harry , run and catch him . '' One of the others who was nearest the door leaped up and started in pursuit .
`` If he were Admiral Hawke he shall pay his score , '' XXXXX Silver ; and then , relinquishing my hand , `` Who did you say he was ? ''
