"That is the fellow, he who pulls the oars," said Captain Bramble to his surgeon. "He must be a vulgar chap, and pulls those instruments as though bred to the business." THAT IS THE FELLOW HE WHO PULLS THE OARS SAID CAPTAIN BRAMBLE TO HIS SURGEON HE MUST BE A VULGAR CHAP AND PULLS THOSE INSTRUMENTS AS THOUGH BRED TO THE BUSINESS
w that the object of their remarks had been a silent but trembling witness of the entire scene, from the first taunting word Captain Bramble had spoken. Early the subsequent morning, even before the sun had risen, a boat might have been seen pulling from the side of the English sloop-of-war, propelled by the stout arms of a couple of seamen, while two persons sat in the stern, a closer examination of whom would have revealed them to be the captain of the ship and surgeon. At the same moment there shot out from a little nook or bay in the rear of the barracoons, a light skiff propelled by a single oarsman, who rowed his bark in true seamen style, cross-handed, while a second party sat in the stern. The rower was Captain Ratlin, and his companion was the swarthy and fierce-looking Don Leonardo. That the same purpose guided the course of either boat was apparent from the fact that both were headed for the same jutting point of land that formed a sort of cape on the harbor's southern side.
