I 've had a ` most enough o ' Cap'n Smollett ; he 's hazed me long enough , by thunder ! I want to go into that cabin , I do . I want their pickles and wines , and that . '' `` Israel , '' said Silver , `` your head ai n't much account , nor ever was . But you 're able to hear , I reckon ; leastways , your ears is big enough . Now , here 's what I say : you 'll berth forward , and you 'll live hard , and you 'll speak soft , and you 'll keep sober till I give the word ; and you may lay to that , my son . '' `` Well , I do n't say no , do I ? '' growled the coxswain . `` What I say is , when ? That 's what I say . '' `` When ! By the powers ! '' cried Silver . `` Well now , if you want to know , I 'll tell you when . The last moment I can manage , and that 's when . Here 's a first-rate seaman , Cap'n Smollett , sails the blessed ship for us . Here 's this squire and doctor with a map and such -- I do n't know where it is , do I ? No more do you , says you . Well then , I mean this squire and doctor shall find the stuff , and help us to get it aboard , by the powers . Then we 'll see .
If I was sure of you all , sons of double Dutchmen , I 'd have Cap'n XXXXX navigate us half-way back again before I struck . ''
