And they got it over before any other ship came up; and Shard put all adverse evidence out of the way, and came that night to the islands near the Sargasso Sea. AND THEY GOT IT OVER BEFORE ANY OTHER SHIP CAME UP AND SHORD PUT ALL ADVERSE EVIDENCE OUT OF THE WAY AND CAME THAT NIGHT TO THE ISLANDS NEAR THE SARGASSO SEA
l day that silver sea-coast city, but there appeared with dawn suspicious topsails just along the horizon. Therefore the captain with his Queen went down to the shore at once and hastily re-embarked and sailed away with what loot they had hurriedly got, and with fewer men, for they had to fight a good deal to get back to the boat. They cursed all day the interference of those ominous ships which steadily grew nearer. There were six ships at first, and that night they slipped away from all but two; but all the next day those two were still in sight, and each of them had more guns than the _Desperate Lark_. All the next night Shard dodged about the sea, but the two ships separated and one kept him in sight, and the next morning it was alone with Shard on the sea, and his archipelago was just in sight, the secret of his life. And Shard saw he must fight, and a bad fight it was, and yet it suited Shard's purpose, for he had more merry men when the fight began than he needed for his island. Y WOULD HAVE LOOTED ALL DAY THAT SILVER SEA COAST CITY BUT THERE APPEARED WITH DAWN SUSPICIOUS TOPSAILS JUST ALONG THE HORIZON THEREFORE THE CAPTAIN WITH HIS QUEEN WENT DOWN TO THE SHORE AT ONCE AND HASTILY RE EMBARKED AND SAILED AWAY WITH WHAT LOOT THEY HAD HURRIEDLY GOT AND WITH FEWER MEN FOR THEY HAD TO FIGHT A GOOD DEAL TO GET BACK TO THE BOAT THEY CURSED ALL DAY THE INTERFERENCE OF THOSE OMINOUS SHIPS WHICH STEADILY DREW NEAR THERE WERE SIX SHIPS AT FIRST AND THAT NIGHT THEY SLIPPED AWAY FROM ALL BUT TWO BUT ALL THE NEXT DAY THOSE TWO WERE STILL IN SIGHT AND EACH OF THEM HAD MORE GUNS THAN THE DESPERATE LARK ALL THE NEXT NIGHT SHARD DODGED ABOUT THE SEA BUT THE TWO SHIPS SEPARATED AND ONE KEPT HIM IN SIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING IT WAS ALONE WITH SHARD ON THE SEA AND HIS ARCHIPELAGO WAS JUST IN SIGHT THE SECRET OF HIS LIFE AND SHARD SAW HE MUST FIGHT AND A BAD FIGHT IT WAS AND YET IT SUITED CHARGE'S PURPOSE FOR HE HAD MORE MERRY MEN WHEN THE FIGHT BEGAN THAN HE NEEDED FOR HIS ISLAND
