Nicky-Nan shuffled out of bed, opened his door, and peered down the stairway. "Who's there?" he challenged. "And what's your business? Hullo!" catching sight of Bill Varco, coastguardsman, on the flat below "the house afire? Or what brings you?" "The Reserves are called out," answered up Bill Varco. "You'll get your paper later.
Jeff is nearly as stout and strong as he ever was; of his severe illness scarcely a trace remains. The doctor does not know what it was, and it is not to be expected that we should know. Sufficient for us to state the fact that it is gone. But our hero is not now a coastguardsman. Listen, and the captain will explain why.
Almost 50 years ago, we began a long struggle against aggressive totalitarianism. Now we face another defining hour for America and the world. There is no one more devoted, more committed to the hard work of freedom, than every soldier and sailor, every marine, airman and coastguardsman every man and every woman now serving in the Persian Gulf.
As the coastguardsman disappeared round the corner of the flagstaff, a young girl came suddenly into sight by the jutting edge of sandstone bluff near the High Wickham; and Herbert, jumping up at once from his reclining posture, raised his bat to her with stately politeness, and moved forward in his courtly graceful manner to meet her as she approached.
He remained perhaps a little more constantly vigilant than before even, for instance, when coming home from church; but it seemed now he had rather the alertness of the coastguardsman than the tension of the sailor when the decks are cleared for action.

Bulpert, after shifting furniture, took up a position on the white hearthrug, and gave a stirring adventure in the life of a coastguardsman who saved from a wreck his wife and child. At the end, Bulpert mopped face, readjusted collar, and waited for congratulations. "Did you make it up out your own head, Mr. Bulpert?" "I did not make it up out of my own head," he said resentfully.

"Of course," went on the coastguardsman earnestly, in deep sympathy with both "the moment the man tells me of this, I knows what happens, seeing that blessed sea-fog a creeping up and the wind falling; and so I goes off to the commander and tells him what I thinks as how Master Bob and that young Dick o' yourn, Cap'en, were most likely all adrift and couldn't fetch in to the land.
The stout coastguardsman was not slow to obey and he received a grip like that of a drowning man; but his mate made no other effort to save himself. "Help here, two of you," cried Bowers. Another moment, and six brawny arms embraced Jeff, and lifted him into the boat. "Not hurt, I hope, Jeff?" "Not much, Davy at least not to speak of; only I'm a bit stunned. Just let me lie here.
