Chapter VIII
Thus ran my reflections, as I became once more roused to the energy that for awhile had forsaken me. I was on my knees, knife in hand, resolved and ready. That precious piece of steel, how prized at the moment! I would not have exchanged it for the full of the ship of red gold! I have said that I was upon my knees.
