`` Well ? '' says Captain Smollett as cool as can be . All that Silver said was a riddle to him , but you would never have guessed it from his tone . As for me , I began to have an inkling . Ben Gunn 's last words came back to my mind . I began to suppose that he had paid the buccaneers a visit while they all lay drunk together round their fire , and I reckoned up with glee that we had only fourteen enemies to deal with . `` Well , here it is , '' said Silver . `` We want that treasure , and we 'll have it -- that 's our point ! You would just as soon save your lives , I reckon ; and that 's yours . You have a chart , have n't you ? '' `` That 's as may be , '' replied the captain . `` Oh , well , you have , I know that , '' returned Long John . `` You need n't be so husky with a man ; there ai n't a particle of service in that , and you may lay to it . What I mean is , we want your chart . Now , I never meant you no harm , myself . '' `` That wo n't do with me , my man , '' interrupted the captain . `` We know exactly what you meant to do , and we do n't care , for now , you see , you ca n't do it . '' And the captain looked at him calmly and proceeded to fill a pipe . `` If Abe Gray -- '' Silver broke out . `` Avast there ! ''
cried Mr. XXXXX .
