The
master
of
The
Young
Amelia
,
who
was
very
desirous
of
retaining
amongst
his
crew
a
man
of
Edmond
's
value
,
had
offered
to
advance
him
funds
out
of
his
future
profits
,
which
Edmond
had
accepted
.
His
next
care
on
leaving
the
barber
's
who
had
achieved
his
first
metamorphosis
was
to
enter
a
shop
and
buy
a
complete
sailor
's
suit
--
a
garb
,
as
we
all
know
,
very
simple
,
and
consisting
of
white
trousers
,
a
striped
shirt
,
and
a
cap
.
It
was
in
this
costume
,
and
bringing
back
to
Jacopo
the
shirt
and
trousers
he
had
lent
him
,
that
Edmond
reappeared
before
the
captain
of
the
lugger
,
who
had
made
him
tell
his
story
over
and
over
again
before
he
could
believe
him
,
or
recognize
in
the
neat
and
trim
sailor
the
man
with
thick
and
matted
beard
,
hair
tangled
with
seaweed
,
and
body
soaking
in
seabrine
,
whom
he
had
picked
up
naked
and
nearly
drowned
.
Attracted
by
his
prepossessing
appearance
,
he
renewed
his
offers
of
an
engagement
to
Dantes
;
but
Dantes
,
who
had
his
own
projects
,
would
not
agree
for
a
longer
time
than
three
months
.
The
Young
Amelia
had
a
very
active
crew
,
very
obedient
to
their
captain
,
who
lost
as
little
time
as
possible
.
He
had
scarcely
been
a
week
at
Leghorn
before
the
hold
of
his
vessel
was
filled
with
printed
muslins
,
contraband
cottons
,
English
powder
,
and
tobacco
on
which
the
excise
had
forgotten
to
put
its
mark
.
The
master
was
to
get
all
this
out
of
Leghorn
free
of
duties
,
and
land
it
on
the
shores
of
Corsica
,
where
certain
speculators
undertook
to
forward
the
cargo
to
France
.
They
sailed
;
Edmond
was
again
cleaving
the
azure
sea
which
had
been
the
first
horizon
of
his
youth
,
and
which
he
had
so
often
dreamed
of
in
prison
.
He
left
Gorgone
on
his
right
and
La
Pianosa
on
his
left
,
and
went
towards
the
country
of
Paoli
and
Napoleon
.
The
next
morning
going
on
deck
,
as
he
always
did
at
an
early
hour
,
the
patron
found
Dantes
leaning
against
the
bulwarks
gazing
with
intense
earnestness
at
a
pile
of
granite
rocks
,
which
the
rising
sun
tinged
with
rosy
light
.
It
was
the
Island
of
Monte
Cristo
.
The
Young
Amelia
left
it
three-quarters
of
a
league
to
the
larboard
,
and
kept
on
for
Corsica
.
Dantes
thought
,
as
they
passed
so
closely
to
the
island
whose
name
was
so
interesting
to
him
,
that
he
had
only
to
leap
into
the
sea
and
in
half
an
hour
be
at
the
promised
land
.
But
then
what
could
he
do
without
instruments
to
discover
his
treasure
,
without
arms
to
defend
himself
?
Besides
,
what
would
the
sailors
say
?
What
would
the
patron
think
?
He
must
wait
.
Fortunately
,
Dantes
had
learned
how
to
wait
;
he
had
waited
fourteen
years
for
his
liberty
,
and
now
he
was
free
he
could
wait
at
least
six
months
or
a
year
for
wealth
.
Would
he
not
have
accepted
liberty
without
riches
if
it
had
been
offered
to
him
?
Besides
,
were
not
those
riches
chimerical
?
--
offspring
of
the
brain
of
the
poor
Abbe
Faria
,
had
they
not
died
with
him
?
It
is
true
,
the
letter
of
the
Cardinal
Spada
was
singularly
circumstantial
,
and
Dantes
repeated
it
to
himself
,
from
one
end
to
the
other
,
for
he
had
not
forgotten
a
word
.
Evening
came
,
and
Edmond
saw
the
island
tinged
with
the
shades
of
twilight
,
and
then
disappear
in
the
darkness
from
all
eyes
but
his
own
,
for
he
,
with
vision
accustomed
to
the
gloom
of
a
prison
,
continued
to
behold
it
last
of
all
,
for
he
remained
alone
upon
deck
.
The
next
morn
broke
off
the
coast
of
Aleria
;
all
day
they
coasted
,
and
in
the
evening
saw
fires
lighted
on
land
;
the
position
of
these
was
no
doubt
a
signal
for
landing
,
for
a
ship
's
lantern
was
hung
up
at
the
mast-head
instead
of
the
streamer
,
and
they
came
to
within
a
gunshot
of
the
shore
.
Dantes
noticed
that
the
captain
of
The
Young
Amelia
had
,
as
he
neared
the
land
,
mounted
two
small
culverins
,
which
,
without
making
much
noise
,
can
throw
a
four
ounce
ball
a
thousand
paces
or
so
.
But
on
this
occasion
the
precaution
was
superfluous
,
and
everything
proceeded
with
the
utmost
smoothness
and
politeness
.
Four
shallops
came
off
with
very
little
noise
alongside
the
lugger
,
which
,
no
doubt
,
in
acknowledgement
of
the
compliment
,
lowered
her
own
shallop
into
the
sea
,
and
the
five
boats
worked
so
well
that
by
two
o'clock
in
the
morning
all
the
cargo
was
out
of
The
Young
Amelia
and
on
terra
firma
.
The
same
night
,
such
a
man
of
regularity
was
the
patron
of
The
Young
Amelia
,
the
profits
were
divided
,
and
each
man
had
a
hundred
Tuscan
livres
,
or
about
eighty
francs
.
But
the
voyage
was
not
ended
.
They
turned
the
bowsprit
towards
Sardinia
,
where
they
intended
to
take
in
a
cargo
,
which
was
to
replace
what
had
been
discharged
.
The
second
operation
was
as
successful
as
the
first
,
The
Young
Amelia
was
in
luck
.
This
new
cargo
was
destined
for
the
coast
of
the
Duchy
of
Lucca
,
and
consisted
almost
entirely
of
Havana
cigars
,
sherry
,
and
Malaga
wines
.
There
they
had
a
bit
of
a
skirmish
in
getting
rid
of
the
duties
;
the
excise
was
,
in
truth
,
the
everlasting
enemy
of
the
patron
of
The
Young
Amelia
.
A
customs
officer
was
laid
low
,
and
two
sailors
wounded
;
Dantes
was
one
of
the
latter
,
a
ball
having
touched
him
in
the
left
shoulder
.
Dantes
was
almost
glad
of
this
affray
,
and
almost
pleased
at
being
wounded
,
for
they
were
rude
lessons
which
taught
him
with
what
eye
he
could
view
danger
,
and
with
what
endurance
he
could
bear
suffering
.
He
had
contemplated
danger
with
a
smile
,
and
when
wounded
had
exclaimed
with
the
great
philosopher
,
"
Pain
,
thou
art
not
an
evil
.
"
He
had
,
moreover
,
looked
upon
the
customs
officer
wounded
to
death
,
and
,
whether
from
heat
of
blood
produced
by
the
encounter
,
or
the
chill
of
human
sentiment
,
this
sight
had
made
but
slight
impression
upon
him
.
Dantes
was
on
the
way
he
desired
to
follow
,
and
was
moving
towards
the
end
he
wished
to
achieve
;
his
heart
was
in
a
fair
way
of
petrifying
in
his
bosom
.
Jacopo
,
seeing
him
fall
,
had
believed
him
killed
,
and
rushing
towards
him
raised
him
up
,
and
then
attended
to
him
with
all
the
kindness
of
a
devoted
comrade
.
