The steady nor'-east wind that was driving the good ship so gallantly on her way when Captain Dinks put her about in order to rescue the Norwegian sailor, continued for days, accompanied by such magnificent weather, that the Nancy Bell was enabled to make very rapid progress down to those lower parallels it was necessary for her to reach before she could stretch forward, in a straight line eastward towards her port of destination.
"I dinks dis ish good style," said Otto to Jack, who moved his head so as to see what he was doing. The sagacious German had gathered the three paddles so they were added to that side of the craft which served as a partial shield against the shots from the shore.
"The same man whom Captain Dinks knocked down the other day for insubordination, and whom I saw threaten him afterwards, as I can swear. If the captain dies, he will be tried for wilful murder, and hung, for it was no accidental blow, but a deliberately premeditated deed!" "Oh, Bill Moody?
Having lost the power of vexing, and beyond being really vexed by a being she so utterly despised as her husband, there was nothing left but pure passivity and inanition, into which she was rapidly declining. Mr. Dinks kicked loudly and roared at the door, but Mrs. Dinks did not heed him.
"They certainly are the cunningest little dinks that ever happened!" cried Ethel Brown, establishing herself comfortably to help make small bows and arrows for the rest of the flock. The girls as well as the boys of the United Service Club knew how to use a jacknife and the diminutive weapons of the chase were soon ready.
"We might as well," said Jack, "for we shall only hinder you." "Dot ish de same as I doesn't dinks." A few strokes sent the canoe well out from the land, and the Shawanoe still plied the paddle with extraordinary skill; but, as he left the shore, he knew that in one respect the danger of himself and companions was increased.
He kissed his hand to her as he sat. He kissed the air toward her. He might as well have blown kisses to the brown spire of Trinity Church. "Alfred, you must solemnly promise me one thing," she said, at length. "Sweet," said Alfred, who began to feel that he had dined very much, indeed "sweet, come here!" Fanny flushed and wrinkled her brow. Mr. Dinks was frightened.
He drifted and tacked about the table for some time, and finally sailed into the port toward which he had been steering an empty chair by Mr. Dinks. They said, good-evening. Mr. Dinks added, with a patronizing air, "I presume you are not often at dinners of this kind, Mr. Newt?" "No," replied Abel; "I usually dine on veal and spring chickens." "Oh!" said Mr.
"No," replied Otto, walking faster than was his custom. "He is a Sauk, and one of the five who went off with you when we parted from each other." "Den I dinks I seen him," was the natural remark of the grinning German. "Of course you have seen him very often, as he has seen you, but you never heard his name Hay-uta, and won't recognize him from any description I give you."
However, there they are, all lashed together by the longboat, not gone yet; and I hope we shall have some use for them yet bye and bye." "I only hope so," said Mr Meldrum sadly, the despondent way in which Captain Dinks spoke affecting him too.
