Up with the helm now, Henry, and slack off the sheets ; it is dark enough to allow us to creep in without being observed. Manton will of course be in the only harbor in the island ; we must therefore go round to the other side, and take the risk of running on the reefs. " " Risk ! " exclaimed Henry ; " I thought you knew all the passages about the island ? " " So I do, lad — all the passages ; but I don't profess to know every rock and reef in the bottom of the sea. Our only chance is to make t...he island on the south side, where there are no passages at all except one that leads into a bay ; but if we run into that, cur masts will be seen against the southern sky, even from the harbor v. Hcre the schooner lies. If we are seen they will be prepared for us, in which case we shall have a desperate fight with little chance of success and the certainty of much bloodshed. We must therefore run straight for another part of the shore, not far from the bay I have referred to, and take our chance of striking.
