Though
the Captain’s warning was not addressed to him, Tom cannot keep down
the urge to deliver the final blow to the Acheron’s mast. Cannot keep
himself from running to the cannon, moving the gunner aside and
pulling—oh, the rush of the pull, the resolution only perfect aim can
bring—
There is breathless silence, then the splintering of
wood, the screams of the Frenchmen as they go to their deaths—the sound
of temporary deliverance.
Much will depend on your accuracy.
Tom closes his eyes and listens, only for a moment. Indeed, sir.
