Now tell these ladies what you think about that mistico there, which is driving towards the shore--let me see, where is she? Alas! she has come frightfully near.
gpt
That mistico, why she must be a stranger to these parts, or she would not venture near our shore; and she has a crew on board who know very little about their calling, for they are going to wreck themselves as clearly as possible, somewhere at the east end of the island. They could not do it better if they were to try; and as there are only two places on the whole coast where they have a chance of escaping, probably in a few minutes they will have gone to the other world.
human
Then you think that she is not my husband's mistico,
gpt
Think! why no, of course not; she is not unlike her either, lady, answered the old pirate.
human
They are strangers, who, as they are not invited to come here, will probably have their throats cut for their intrusion, if, by chance, they happen to get in shore alive.
gpt
But your chief--what think you of your chief?
human
He is safe enough under shelter of one of the islands, and will be back here right enough to-morrow morning,
gpt
Grant heaven it may be so, ejaculated Nina.

And now, Vlacco, you must obey me in this. Collect all the men you can, and hasten along the shore, to where that vessel will be wrecked. Remember, the life of your chief was preserved in a similar manner, and it were impious to allow any to perish whom we can save. Bring such as escape safe to my tower; and beware that no one robs or injures them.
