Hi folks, this is coming from Colonel Jack by Defoe.
What does this bold one mean? Captain Jack is talking about taking revenge of real captain who cheated and kidnapped them.
Why does he not complete his villainy and murder us, and then he will be free from our revenge? But nothing else shall ever deliver him from my hands but sending us to the d--l, (devil?) or going thither himself; and I am honester in telling him so fairly than he has been to me, and am in no passion any more than he is."
