‘Bill,’said the stranger.
The captain turned quickly and saw us. The colour went from his face and be looked old and sick.‘Black Dog!’he said. He stared at the stranger.‘And what do you want?’
‘I'll have a glass of rum,’ said Black Dog, ‘then you and I'll sit and talk like old friends.’
I fetched the rum and they told me to go away. I went out of the room ,but the voices became louder.
‘No, no, and that's an end of it!I heard the captain shout. ‘If one is caught ,we'll all be caught!’
There were more shouts, and then the sound of the table crashing over. Next, I heard the sound of swords, then out ran Black Dog with blood running down his shoulder .He ran out of the inn and along the road. In a few seconds ,he had disap－peared from sight.
The captain watched him go ,then said,‘Jim, quick! Bring me rum.
He turned and went back into the inn, but he could only just stand on his feet. I realized he was feeling ill and ran to fetch the rum. Then I heard him falling and hurried back to find him on the floor.
