Our captain showed himself to be a tactician as well as a fighter.  "If this be the Algerine," he said, "her speed will enable her to make off when she finds out who we are.  It remains, therefore, to trick and entice her to us.  See that all our ordnance is run in and the ports closed.  Keep nearly all the men out of sight, and run the flag of Sicily up to the peak.  And you, Master Bennet," he added, addressing our newly made master, "lay me the _Gannet_ close alongside the stranger and your duty will be done.  Now, gentlemen, to your stations, and God save His Majesty King Charles!"
