As it is , I have heard you . I will do as you desire , but I think the worse of you . '' `` That 's as you please , sir , '' said the captain . `` You 'll find I do my duty . '' And with that he took his leave . `` Trelawney , '' said the doctor , `` contrary to all my notions , I believed you have managed to get two honest men on board with you -- that man and John Silver . '' `` Silver , if you like , '' cried the squire ; `` but as for that intolerable humbug , I declare I think his conduct unmanly , unsailorly , and downright un-English . '' `` Well , '' says the doctor , `` we shall see . '' When we came on deck , the men had begun already to take out the arms and powder , yo-ho-ing at their work , while the captain and Mr. Arrow stood by superintending . The new arrangement was quite to my liking . The whole schooner had been overhauled ; six berths had been made astern out of what had been the after-part of the main hold ; and this set of cabins was only joined to the galley and forecastle by a sparred passage on the port side . It had been originally meant that the captain , Mr. Arrow , Hunter , Joyce , the doctor , and the squire were to occupy these six berths . Now Redruth and I were to get two of them and Mr. Arrow and the captain were to sleep on deck in the companion , which had been enlarged on each side till you might almost have called it a round-house . Very low it was still , of course ; but there was room to swing two hammocks , and even the mate seemed pleased with the arrangement . Even he , perhaps , had been doubtful as to the crew , but that is only guess , for as you shall hear , we had not long the benefit of his opinion . We were all hard at work , changing the powder and the berths , when the last man or two , and Long John along with them , came off in a shore-boat . The cook came up the side like a monkey for cleverness , and as soon as he saw what was doing , `` So ho , mates ! '' says he . `` What 's this ? '' `` We 're a-changing of the powder , Jack , '' answers one .
`` Why , by the powers , '' cried Long XXXXX , `` if we do , we 'll miss the morning tide ! ''
