Now you sign it . '' Hilary glanced at his superior , who frowned and nodded his head ; and the young man went below and added his signature . `` That 'll do , '' said the man smiling . `` Now look here , captain , as soon as I 'm gone you sail right off out of sight if you can , and get her lying off the point by about ten o'clock -- two bells , or whatever it is . Then you wait till a small lugger comes creeping off slowly , as if it was going out for the night with the drift-nets . I and my mates will be aboard that lugger , and they 'll drop down alongside and put me aboard , and I 'll pilot you just to the place where you can lie in the cove out of sight till the schooner comes in . If I come in my little boat the boys on shore would make signals , and the schooner would keep off , but if they see us go as usual out in our lugger they 'll pay no heed .
