"They can hit if they get what they like." "Now you're talkin'. How about Gallagher?" "He hits speed. He couldn't hit a slow ball with a paddle." "Now you're talkin'. There's Stern, how'd you size him?" "He's weak on a low curve, in or out, or a drop." "Peg, you're talkin' some now. How about Hill?" "Hill is a bunter. A high ball in close, speedy, would tie him in a knot." "Come on, hurry!

Bunter had also another annoyance that day. A confounded berthing master came on board on some pretence or other, but in reality, Bunter thought, simply impelled by an inconvenient curiosity inconvenient to Bunter, that is. After some beating about the bush, that man suddenly said: "I can't help thinking. I've seen you before somewhere, Mr. Mate. If I heard your name, perhaps Bunter "

What could Bunter do? It was awkward for him, you know. He could not go and put his head into the bread-locker. What he did was to take up a position abaft the mizzen-rigging, and stare back as unwinking as the other.

The papers were brought in by "fresh fish," purchased from the guards at from fifty cents to one dollar apiece, or occasionally thrown in to us when they had some specially disagreeable intelligence, like the defeat of Banks, or Sturgis, or Bunter, to exult over.

I didn't say this in so many words to Bunter, but, as the poor fellow harped a bit on it, I told him that there were skeletons in a good many honest cupboards, and that, as to his own particular guilt, it wasn't writ large on his face for everybody to see so he needn't worry as to that. And besides, he would be gone to sea in about twelve hours from now.

Bunter would go on swinging up and down the poop like a deliberate, dignified pendulum. He said not a word. But the poor fellow had not a trifle on his conscience, as you know; and to have imbecile ghosts rammed down his throat like this on top of his own worry nearly drove him crazy.

"You don't mean to say you've got the falling sickness," said Captain Johns. "How would you call it signing as chief mate of a clipper ship with a thing like that on you?" Bunter answered him only by a sinister look. The skipper shuffled his feet a little. "Well, what made you have that tumble, then?"
