Michael, on the smooth roof of the cabin, slithered down the steep slope to starboard and disappeared, clawing and snarling, into the runway. The port shrouds of the foremast carried away at the chain-plates, and the fore-topmast leaned over drunkenly to starboard. "My word," quoth the Ancient Mariner. "We certainly felt that." "Mr.
Reeling in the saddle, he came up with the stragglers, singing and marking time with a half-empty bottle of whisky. The few who knew him looked at one another askance. "Say, Hunter, ain't yuh got any feelin's? That there's your pardner on the hoss," one loose-jointed miner expostulated. "Sure, I got feelin's! Have a d-drink?" Dade leered drunkenly at the speaker.

The two Policemen were not the sole occupants of Mile 127, as the village had been known in its day.
In the midst of it, now rolling her dripping bottom clear, now sousing her deck-load of lumber far above the guards, a coasting steam-schooner was lumbering drunkenly into port. It was magnificent this battle between man and the elements. Whatever timidity he had entertained fled away, and Joe's nostrils began to dilate and his eyes to flash at the nearness of the impending struggle.

He iss fey fey, I tell you! Look!" She sailed into a patch of watery sunshine three or four miles distant. The patch dulled and faded out, and even as the light passed so did the schooner.
