What I mean is , we want your chart . Now , I never meant you no harm , myself . '' `` That wo n't do with me , my man , '' interrupted the captain . `` We know exactly what you meant to do , and we do n't care , for now , you see , you ca n't do it . '' And the captain looked at him calmly and proceeded to fill a pipe . `` If Abe Gray -- '' Silver broke out . `` Avast there ! '' cried Mr. Smollett . `` Gray told me nothing , and I asked him nothing ; and what 's more , I would see you and him and this whole island blown clean out of the water into blazes first . So there 's my mind for you , my man , on that . '' This little whiff of temper seemed to cool Silver down . He had been growing nettled before , but now he pulled himself together . `` Like enough , '' said he . `` I would set no limits to what gentlemen might consider shipshape , or might not , as the case were . And seein ' as how you are about to take a pipe , cap'n , I 'll make so free as do likewise . '' And he filled a pipe and lighted it ; and the two men sat silently smoking for quite a while , now looking each other in the face , now stopping their tobacco , now leaning forward to spit . It was as good as the play to see them . `` Now , '' resumed Silver , `` here it is . You give us the chart to get the treasure by , and drop shooting poor seamen and stoving of their heads in while asleep . You do that , and we 'll offer you a choice .
Either you come aboard along of us , once the treasure shipped , and then I 'll XXXXX you my affy-davy , upon my word of honour , to clap you somewhere safe ashore .
