| Coco shouted to his utmost, and fortunately attracted notice. | 9 |
| 'That will do, Jonathan; I'll ring for coffee presently'. | 18 |
| Oswald Bareth gained the helm, which he put hard up. | 24 |
| 'I'll cleave to the shoulder the first man who attempts to break into the spirit-room'. | 32 |
| Found his green morocco easy-chair already tenanted by William the footman. | 35 |
| 'Antony, for shame! fie, for shame!'. | 41 |
| He walked with his coat flying open, his thumbs stuck into the arm-holes of his waistcoat. | 44 |
| A general discharge from a broadside of carronades, and a heavy volley of muskets, was the decided answer. | 62 |
| 'Take that, babbler, for your intelligence; if these men are obstinate, we may have worked for nothing'. | 72 |
| 'Blood for blood!' cried Francisco, as he fired his pistol at Cain, who staggered, and fell on the deck. | 82 |
| Before Francisco had gained the sand-bank she was hull-down to the northward. | 85 |
| At last he snatched up the haulyards of his boat's sail, and hastened down to the spot to afford such succour as might be possible. | 95 |
| The flames increased in violence, mounting up to the masts and catching the sails one after another. | 101 |

| Francisco fixed the glass against the sill of the window, and examined the vessel some time in silence. | 113 |

| 'God bless you, boy! God bless you!' said Cain; 'but leave me now' | 129 |
| 'Blood for blood I will have,' continued the mate, holding up his clenched hand, and shaking it almost in the pirate captain's face. | 139 |
| The pirate captain was seen to raise his body convulsively half out of the water—he floundered, sank, and was seen no more. | 152 |
| Clara sprang into his arms, and was immediately in a state of insensibility. | 155 |
| The pirates at the bar | 160 |
| As soon as she was sufficiently composed, was sworn, and gave her evidence | 166 |
| 'Blood for blood!' | 171 |
| 'Captain Templemore, I wish you joy!' | 178 |
| 'Resurgam!' said the butler | 181 |
