Look here, said Mr Frewen then, in a hoarse voice;
gpt
Have you got his knife and pistol, Brymer?
human
Yes. All safe. Now then, forward silently till we are close upon them, and then give your signal--a whistle, isn't it?
gpt
Yes.
human
Give it sharply; it will do for your friends as well as for us. Then fire if there is the least resistance, close with them, and let's get them under hatches. But I beg pardon, sir; you are in command.
gpt
Nonsense! You could not have given better advice.
human
But they will not show much fight. Without their leader they will be like sheep.
gpt
Now then, one more word, said the mate.
human
It would have been better to divide, and part go to starboard, the rest to port, but we are so few.
gpt
Yes, let's keep together, said Mr Frewen,
human
Yes, sir, I'm ready; but I'm afraid you must not expect much from me. I'll hit as hard as I can though.
gpt
That will do. Now, gentlemen, forward!
