rocks re-echoed and the men came out again, one after another, on the road and declared that we were nowhere to be found. And just the
same whistle that had alarmed my mother and myself over the dead captain's money was once more clearly audible through the night, but this
time twice repeated. I had thought it to be the blind man's trumpet, so to speak, summoning his crew to the assault, but I now found that it was
a signal from the hillside towards the hamlet, and from its effect upon the buccaneers, a signal to warn them of approaching danger.

"Budge, you skulkl" cried Pew. "Dirk was a fool and a coward from the first-you wouldn't mind him. They must be close by, they can't be far;
you have your hands on it. Scatter and look for them, dogs! Oh, shiver my soul," he cried, "if I had eyes!

and with half an eye to their own danger all the time, while the rest stood irresolute on the road.
