And, by the way, I want you to go by that bark of ours and give her the old black Roger I used to fly.
I forgot to send it to her, and a man might as well not own and command two vessels if he get not the credit of it." When Black Paul had gone to execute his orders, Ben Greenway heaved a heavy sigh.

"Now I begin to fear, Master Bonnet, that the day o' your salvation has really gone by.

When ye not only murder an' rob upon the high seas, but keep consort with other murderers an' robbers, then I fear ye are indeed lost.

But I shall stand by ye, Master Bonnet, I shall stand by ye; an' if, ever I find there is the least bit o' ye to be snatched from the flames, I'll snatch it!" "I don't like that sort of talk, Ben Greenway," cried Bonnet, "especially at this time when my soul swells with content at the success which has crowned my undertakings.

This Blackbeard is a valiant man and a great one, but it is my belief that when we have sat down to compare our notes, it will be found that I have captured as many cargoes, burned as many ships, and marooned as many people in my last cruise as he has." "So I suppose," said Ben, "that ye think ye hae achieved the right to sink deeper into hell than he can ever hope to do ?" Bonnet made no answer, but turned away.
