TREASURE ISLAND 030 – XXIIHow I Began My Sea Adventure – 009
The thing was extremely small, even for me, and I can hardly imagine that it could have floated with a full-sized man.There was one thwart set as low as possible, a kind of stretcher in the bows, and a double paddle for propulsion.I had not then seen a coracle, such as the ancient Britons made, but I have seen one since, and I can give you no fairer idea of Ben Gunn’s boat than by saying it was like the first and the worst coracle ever made by man.But the great advantage of the coracle it certainly possessed, for it was exceedingly light and portable.Well, now that I had found the boat, you would have thought I had had enough of truantry for once, but in the meantime I had taken another notion and become so obstinately fond of it that I would have carried it out, I believe, in the teeth of Captain Smollett himself.This was to slip out under cover of the night, cut the Hispaniola adrift, and let her go ashore where she fancied.
