noon
It appeared that this money was to be again the cause of slaughter and bloodshed . Philip and Krantz determined to sail immediately in one of the peroquas , and leave them to settle their disputes as they pleased . He asked permission of the soldiers to take from the provisions and water , of which there was ample supply , a larger proportion than was their share ; stating , that he and Krantz had a long voyage and would require it , and pointing out to them that there were plenty of cocoa-nuts for their support . The soldiers , who thought of nothing but their newly-acquired wealth allowed him to do as he pleased ; and , having hastily collected as many cocoa-nuts as they could , to add to their stock of provisions , before noon , Philip and Krantz had embarked and made sail in the peroqua , leaving the soldiers with their knives again drawn , and so busy in their angry altercation as to be heedless of their departure . `` There will be the same scene over again , I expect , '' observed Krantz , as the vessel parted swiftly from the shore . `` I have little doubt of it ; observe , even now they are at blows and stabs . '' `` If I were to name that spot , it should be the ` _ Accursed Isle _ . ' ''
