Hieronymus shrugged his cloak-shoulders right up to his ears; when he was abreast of the 238 THE 'HALF MOON' high-mas{ they saw him cast something into the sea. "That was the sheath, not the knife," Hudson said to Edward Colman. "That is a very evil man, I will wager he came with Outreweltius as a ispy upon him, and was the mouthpiece of the others of the Good Hope to urge him to mutiny." "Why will you not call him back," Edward Colman said, "and make him cast away his knife too?" "Edward Colman," Hudson answered; "if you make objections to my rulings you and I shall have a quarrel." He looked upon the round-headed man that still knelt.
