While walking along the side of the docks, he met his cousin, Amos Fletcher, who was the captain of a canal boat, and to whom he related his recent experience. Amos offered him the post of driver, and James engaged to go with his cousin to Pittsburg in that capacity.
The New York Commercial Advertiser of February 25, has a communication from Amos Townsend, Esq., Cashier of the New Haven Bank; dated New Haven, February 21, 1839, from which we make the following extract. He says he obtained his information from one of the most extensive shipping houses in that city connected with the West India trade. "A Mr. Jackson, a planter from St.
Amos heaps image on image to deepen the impression of terror and confusion. Everything is turned to its opposite. The sun sets at midday, and noon is darkness.

These are evidently all figures vividly piled together to express the same thought.
He remained stout and true-hearted to the last, like one of the oak timbers of his own good ship. Bolton, Saunders, Mivins, Peter Grim, Amos Parr, and the rest of them, were scattered in a few years, as sailors usually are, to the four quarters of the globe. O'Riley alone was heard of again.

"You know Lydia is our partner." "Well, she'll just worry," warned Amos. "John's going to hold it for me, till I can get the pine cut off. That'll pay for the land." "How much did you pay for it, Mr.

Amos listened to him with wonder, and said: "Your f-friend Smith, Ben, couldn't have b-been raised when there were tythingmen, or he'd have just lived in the stocks.

As an observer of human nature, he had begun to find a fascination in watching the group of politicians there. First of all he encountered Mr. Amos Cuthbert, his little coal-black eyes burning brightly, and he was looking very irritable indeed.
