And he filled a pipe and lighted it ; and the two men sat silently smoking for quite a while , now looking each other in the face , now stopping their tobacco , now leaning forward to spit . It was as good as the play to see them . `` Now , '' resumed Silver , `` here it is . You give us the chart to get the treasure by , and drop shooting poor seamen and stoving of their heads in while asleep . You do that , and we 'll offer you a choice . Either you come aboard along of us , once the treasure shipped , and then I 'll give you my affy-davy , upon my word of honour , to clap you somewhere safe ashore . Or if that ai n't to your fancy , some of my hands being rough and having old scores on account of hazing , then you can stay here , you can . We 'll divide stores with you , man for man ; and I 'll give my affy-davy , as before to speak the first ship I sight , and send 'em here to pick you up . Now , you 'll own that 's talking . Handsomer you could n't look to get , now you . And I hope '' -- raising his voice -- `` that all hands in this here block house will overhaul my words , for what is spoke to one is spoke to all . '' Captain Smollett rose from his seat and knocked out the ashes of his pipe in the palm of his left hand . `` Is that all ? '' he asked . `` Every last word , by thunder ! '' answered John . `` Refuse that , and you 've seen the last of me but musket-balls . '' `` Very good , '' said the captain . `` Now you 'll hear me . If you 'll come up one by one , unarmed , I 'll engage to clap you all in irons and take you home to a fair trial in England .
If you wo n't , my name is Alexander XXXXX , I 've flown my sovereign 's colours , and I 'll see you all to Davy Jones .
