There is another place where Nancy uses the expression:
"shiver your timbers", in addition to the place in SA
where Nancy and Peggy are first being introduced to the
Swallows during the Parley on Wild Cat Island, as previously
noted in this forum.

The stick wagged up and down like a pump handle and
wagged sideways like the tail of a dog, while Roger held it
over some rank dick leaves close by the orchard gate.
Nancy grabbed at him. He dodged her, dropped the stick,
bent down and lifted a broken jam-pot full of water from
under the leaves where he had hidden it.
"Who said there was no water?" he laughed, darting out of
reach.
"I'll shiver your timbers for you," said Nancy, laughing in
spite of her disappointment. "Oh well, if it doesn't work it
doesn't."
