"Now, Jack," cried Thames, warmly grasping Sheppard's hand, "you are my
friend again. "I give it to King James—not so
you: for the furtherance of a great and holy cause, not for the prosecution of wild
and unprofitable schemes. Sheppard, "are you come to renew your terrible
proposals?"
"I'm come to execute my threats," replied Wild. Still, one never could tell. "Some dreadful deed is about to be committed, which I may perhaps prevent,"
muttered Jack to himself. "
Amazed at the boy's assurance, Wood left off boxing his ears for a moment, and,
looking at him steadfastly, said in a grave tone, "Jack, Jack, you'll come to be
hanged!"
"Better be hanged than hen-pecked," retorted the lad with a malicious grin. You act your part capitally, but it won't do. "
"And you flatter yourself you can detain me?" laughed Jack. This island was the
one haven he had; he might be forced to remain here for several years—until the
Hand had forgotten him. A moment more and he would have been crushed beneath the ponderous
board, when a slight but strong arm arrested its descent. Towards this box Sharples directed his steps, and, unlocking a hatch in the door,
disclosed a recess scarcely as large, and certainly not as clean, as a dog-kennel. At length he
proceeded toward McClintock's bungalow, drawn by the lights and the sound of
music.
