THE PIRATE

	PAGE
Cain	[Frontispiece]
'Coco ab ten finger, and take long while suck em all dry'.	[7]
Coco shouted to his utmost, and fortunately attracted notice.	[9]
'That will do, Jonathan; I'll ring for coffee presently'.	[18]
Oswald Bareth gained the helm, which he put hard up.	[24]
'I'll cleave to the shoulder the first man who attempts to break into the spirit-room'.	[32]
Found his green morocco easy-chair already tenanted by William the footman.	[35]
'Antony, for shame! fie, for shame!'.	[41]
He walked with his coat flying open, his thumbs stuck into the arm-holes of his waistcoat.	[44]
A general discharge from a broadside of carronades, and a heavy volley of muskets, was the decided answer.	[62]
'Take that, babbler, for your intelligence; if these men are obstinate, we may have worked for nothing'.	[72]
'Blood for blood!' cried Francisco, as he fired his pistol at Cain, who staggered, and fell on the deck.	[82]
Before Francisco had gained the sand-bank she was hull-down to the northward.	[85]
At last he snatched up the haulyards of his boat's sail, and hastened down to the spot to afford such succour as might be possible.	[95]
The flames increased in violence, mounting up to the masts and catching the sails one after another.	[101]
Don Felix de Maxos de Cobas de Manilla d'Alfarez, too busy with his cigar to pay attention to his daughter.	[107]
Francisco fixed the glass against the sill of the window, and examined the vessel some time in silence.	[113]
The ball entered the left shoulder of Hawkhurst, and he dropped his hold.	[122]
'God bless you, boy! God bless you!' said Cain; 'but leave me now'	[129]
'Blood for blood I will have,' continued the mate, holding up his clenched hand, and shaking it almost in the pirate captain's face.	[139]
The pirate captain was seen to raise his body convulsively half out of the water—he floundered, sank, and was seen no more.	[152]
Clara sprang into his arms, and was immediately in a state of insensibility.	[155]
The pirates at the bar	[160]
As soon as she was sufficiently composed, was sworn, and gave her evidence	[166]
'Blood for blood!'	[171]
'Captain Templemore, I wish you joy!'	[178]
'Resurgam!' said the butler	[181]

THE THREE CUTTERS

	PAGE
The ladies	[188]
The Hon. Miss Cecilia Ossulton	[190]
'Fie! Mr. Vaughan,' cried Cecilia Ossulton; 'you know it came from your heart'	[197]
Lieutenant Appleboy	[201]
'Salt water, sir!' cried Jem. 'Yes, sir,' replied Mr. Appleboy, tossing the contents of the tumbler in the boy's face	[206]
The captain of the Happy-go-lucky, Jack Pickersgill	[210]
Jeannette held her finger up to Corbett, saying, with a smile, 'méchant!' and then quitted the room	[214]
The gun was loaded, and not being more than a mile from the smuggler, actually threw the ball almost a quarter of the way	[219]
'Well, gentlemen, what do you want?' said Pickersgill	[222]
'Pirates!—bloody, murderous stick-at-nothing pirates!' replied the steward	[229]
'Upon my soul, my lord,' cried Maddox, dropping on his knees, 'there is no Burgundy on board—ask the ladies'	[237]
Miss Ossulton, frightened out of her wits, took his arm; and, with Mrs. Lascelles on the other, they went up to the hotel	[245]
'Mrs. Lascelles,' said Pickersgill, 'before we part, allow me to observe, that it is you who have induced me to give up my profession——'	[255]
