English, asked by SatyajitLahiri, 2 months ago

On reaching the isle of Palms, the pirates at once proceded to take in

those stores of which they stood in need. The harbour into which the

schooner ran was a narrow bay, on the shores of which the palm trees grew

sufficiently high to prevent her masts being seen from the other side of the

island. Here the captives were landed, but as Manton did not wish them towitness his procedings, he sent them across the islet under the escort of a

party which conveyed them to the shores of a small bay. On the rocks in

this bay lay the wreck of what had once been a noble ship. It was now

completely dismantled.

On a green knoll near the margin of this bay, a crude tent or hut was

constructed by the pirates out of parts of an old sail which had been washed

ashore, and some broken spars. A small cask of biscuits and two or three

blankets were placed in it, and here the captives were left to do as they

pleased until such time as Manton chose to send for them. The only piece

of advice that was given to them by their surly jailor was that they should

not, on any pretence, cross the island to the bay in which the schooner lay

at anchor. 1+1=2
