I shall take Pedro with me, and perhaps Dominique.

We can get another pilot here.

Dominique is a shrewd fellow, and can get more out of the negroes than Pedro can.
Certainly, that will be the best plan, and will avoid the necessity of spoiling the yacht's speed, which may be of vital importance to us at a critical moment.
"Call Dominique down.

I will send him ashore at once with Pedro, to get hold of a good pilot and four good negro boatmen, and a native sail.

I think that is all we want.".
