-LSB- Illustration : `` SHE AND MASTER HARRY WOULD SPEND HOURS TOGETHER '' -RSB- In that time , however , the pirates had well-nigh gone crazy for joy ; for when they came to examine their purchase they discovered her cargo to consist of plate to the prodigious sum of £ 130,000 in value . 'T was a wonder they did not all make themselves drunk for joy . No doubt they would have done so had not Captain Morgan , knowing they were still in the exact track of the Spanish fleets , threatened them that the first man among them who touched a drop of rum without his permission he would shoot him dead upon the deck . This threat had such effect that they all remained entirely sober until they had reached Port Royal Harbor , which they did about nine o'clock in the morning . And now it was that our hero 's romance came all tumbling down about his ears with a run . For they had hardly come to anchor in the harbor when a boat came from a man-of-war , and who should come stepping aboard but Lieutenant Grantley -LRB- a particular friend of our hero 's father -RRB- and his own eldest brother Thomas , who , putting on a very stern face , informed Master Harry that he was a desperate and hardened villain who was sure to end at the gallows , and that he was to go immediately back to his home again . He told our embryo pirate that his family had nigh gone distracted because of his wicked and ungrateful conduct .
