[00:00.57] Chapter 11.
[00:02.16] What I heard in the Apple barrel.
[00:04.55] No, said Silva.
[00:06.32] Flint was the captain, not I.
[00:08.22] What a battle that was.
[00:10.49] In the same broad side, I lost my leg, and Old Pew lost his eyes.
[00:15.02] I've seen Flint's ship awash with red blood and fit to sink with gold.
[00:21.37] Ah, he was the cream of the crop was Flint, said the other.
[00:26.40] I recognized his voice as Dick, the youngest seaman on board.
[00:31.13] He's dead now, said Silva.
[00:34.13] And blind Pew and Billy Bones too.
[00:38.67] And them that's left of Flint's crew are aboard this ship.
[00:43.63] That's why I wanted to have this talk with you.
[00:47.97] You're young, but you're smart as paint.
[00:51.21] I see that when I first set eyes on you.
[00:55.90] You could be a gentleman of fortune like myself.
[01:00.69] We live rough, but we eat and drink like fighting cocks.
[01:05.91] With hundreds of pounds in our pocket.
[01:09.40] Are you with us?
[01:13.83] I am, and here's my hand on it, said Dick.
[01:19.04] And I felt the barrel move as the two men shook hands.
[01:23.97] Soon a third man strolled up and sat down by Silva.
[01:30.44] Dick is with us, said Silva.
[01:34.52] I, he's no fool is Dick, agreed the other, whose voice betrayed him as Israel hands, the Coxson.
[01:44.57] Hans spat on the deck.
[01:47.66] But look here.
[01:49.92] What I want to know is how long are we going to take orders from that Captain Smolett.
[01:57.81] He's crossed me once too often by thunder.
[02:02.63] Israel, said Silva, you'll work hard and you'll speak soft until I give the word, my son.
[02:11.55] All right.
[02:13.63] But what I say is when, growled the Coxson.
[02:20.28] I'll tell you when.
[02:23.83] The last moment, that's when.
[02:27.87] Here's this doctor and squire with a map.
[02:31.94] I don't know where it is, do I?
[02:35.52] I mean them to find the treasure and help us to get it aboard before we strike.
[02:42.79] And what do we do with them then? asked Israel.
[02:47.50] Well, what do you think?
[02:50.48] Put them ashore and leave them, or cut them down like so much pork.
[02:59.10] Billy was the man for that, said Israel.
[03:03.45] Dead men don't bite, says he.
[03:07.03] Right you are, said Silva.
[03:09.84] I'm quite the gentleman, but when it comes down to business, duty is duty, mates.
[03:17.54] I say we kill them.
[03:21.67] John, you're a man, said Hans.
[03:26.95] Only one thing I claim, and that's Tni, said Silva.
[03:33.03] I'll ring his fat neck with my bare hands.
[03:38.57] Then he added, Dick, be a sweet lad and get me an apple from the barrel.
[03:49.23] You can imagine the terror I felt.
[03:53.12] I would have lept out of the barrel and run for it if I hadn't been frozen with fear.
[04:00.58] I heard Dick begin to rise, but then Hans's voice stopped him.
[04:08.28] Never mind that, John.
[04:11.70] Let's have a round of the rum.
[04:17.44] Dick, I trust you, said Silva.
[04:22.00] There's the key.
[04:24.60] Go and bring us up a jug.
[04:31.20] Dick was gone a little while, but in that time, I gathered some important news.
[04:38.91] It seemed that not all the crew were with the pirates.
[04:45.99] Not another man will join, said Hans.
[04:49.70] It gave me a little hope, but I was still wondering how I was going to get out of the Apple barrel alive.
[04:58.76] Just then my thoughts were interrupted by the cry of the lookout.
[05:04.16] Land ho!
