"D'you think he's mad?" one of them was whispering when the mate turned to Hop Sing again. "Set up the drinks for them," he commanded. "I'll not wait meself, but here's the money." "You not dlink?" asked the Chinaman, as the mate laid the coins on the counter. "No," was the reply. "No need to spoil another glass."
"Allee going 'way?" "No," I replied, with my lips to his ear; "they are carrying up boards and pieces of the wreck and sails, and making themselves a shelter. They are going to stay." Ching drew his breath with a low hiss, and was silent for a few minutes. Then, quite cheerfully, he whispered "Velly bad job. Don'tee want bad wicked pilate here. Nevy mind: come, eat blisket, dlink watee.
"Wantchee dlink," replied Sin Sin Wa. "Oh, I see. If I go out into the passage it will be all right?" "Allee lightee." Even as he softly crooned the words came a heavy squelch of rubbers upon the wet pavement outside, followed by a rapping on the door. Sin Sin Wa glanced aside at Sir Lucien, and the latter immediately withdrew, partly closing the door.
"Him, dlink, dlink all-a-time dlink, him catchee hollows." They had started to lower the bucket, when suddenly the yells ceased, a loud bubbling was heard, and looking down they saw only a dim, round object above the water. Without an instant's delay Hugh put his foot in the bucket and signed to the Chinee to lower him.
Well, I never yet chucked dice with a Chinee; but blamed if I don't do it jest this once. What's it goin' ter be, fur all hands?" "Lat light; allee samee all hands gittee lillee dlink. If me lose me pay; if you lose you allee samee givee um dlinks." "Good!" The saloon keeper brought out the dice, and, shaking them in the leather box, rolled them out. "There yer are!" he said, exultantly.
"Oh, all 'ight! Miss Lolly got him. You dlink him up, Miss Lolly. He make you good nerve." But Lorry could not drink much. It seemed to Aunt Ellen she hardly touched the cup to her lips when she was up and moving toward the house again this time for her hat. "Hat!" muttered the old lady, picking at a bunch of grapes. "The girl's gone mad. Wanting a hat in the middle of an earthquake."
Ching smiled, and seemed to be very proud of our performance. "You all eat dlink velly much," he said, as we gave up, defeated. "You all velly quite full?" he said, rubbing his hands carefully, so as not to injure his long nails. "Yes, full up, and the hatches battened down," cried Barkins. "Now then, ask for the bill. How much apiece?" Ching smiled and nodded his head.
"Waitee lit' bit," Ching whispered. "Allee s'eep, and Ching get eat dlink." But I felt certain that he would be caught, and begged him not to go till we were absolutely driven by hunger and thirst; and so that day passed, with the rock growing hotter, and the air too stifling almost to breathe, while, to my horror, I found that Tom Jecks was growing more and more feverish.
The long glasses and bottle capsized, rolled to the floor, and smashed, the crash of glass mingling with her clamour. "What foh?" yelled Feng, in a fury. "Jim Kli, dam chickum spoiley icey dlink. Hiyu no good all same son of a gun! S'pose me catch him, ling him neck!" And he darted after the hen, on vengeance bent. But Casey caught him by the collar. "Never mind, Feng.
"Velly nice beautiful place; ought to come here last night." "Yes, capital. We can hide here; and once inside, if we had arms, we could keep the wretches at a distance." "Don'tee want fight now," said Ching, quietly. "No swold, no shoot gun, no jolly sailor boy. Wantee eat and dlink." "Yes; let's get poor Jecks here at once." "You go fetch him; tly to walkee now: Ching go fetch eat, dlink."
