And you ?" "The Foam--from the Feejees--for Calcutta.

What's wrong with you ?" "Sprung a leak; is there anchorage in the bay ?" sang out the captain of the merchantman.
"No; it's too shoal for a big ship.

Bear away round to the other side of the island.

You'll find good holding ground there.

I'll show you the way." The pirate accordingly conducted the unsuspecting stranger away from the only safe harbor in the island, and led him through a complete labyrinth of reefs and rocks, to the bay on the other side, in which he knew full well there was scarcely enough of water to float his own little schooner.
With perfect confidence in his guide, the unfortunate captain of the merchantman followed until both vessels were in the comparatively still and sheltered waters of the bay.
