TREASURE ISLAND 032 – XXIVThe Cruise of the Coracle – 007

Again and again was this repeated.
To and fro, up and down, north, south, east, and west, the Hispaniola sailed by swoops and dashes, and at each repetition ended as she had begun, with idly flapping canvas.
It became plain to me that nobody was steering.
And if so, where were the men? Either they were dead drunk or had deserted her, I thought, and perhaps if I could get on board I might return the vessel to her captain.

The current was bearing coracle and schooner southward at an equal rate.
As for the latter’s sailing, it was so wild and intermittent, and she hung each time so long in irons, that she certainly gained nothing, if she did not even lose.
If only I dared to sit up and paddle, I made sure that I could overhaul her.
