His goodness of heart was known to all, and he was regarded as a general arbitrator among the sometimes restless population of Brennerstadt. His delight at seeing Burke was obvious; he hailed him with acclamations. "I've been meaning to ride over your way for ages," he declared, his rubicund face shining with geniality as he wrung his friend's hand hard.
But decidedly fortune was kind to him to-day: for, opening the creel, he found Sir Warwick's fly-book within it, bulging with hooks and flies by the score nay, by the hundred. He unbuckled the strap and was turning the leaves to make his choice, when his ear caught the sound of footsteps, and he lifted his eyes to see Sir John Crang coming down the road. "Hullo!" hailed Sir John.
We saw a small vessel in the harbour, which we subsequently learned was from the Basque provinces, come for a cargo of cider or sagadua, the beverage so dearly loved by the Basques. As we passed along the narrow street, Antonio was hailed with an "Ola" from a species of shop in which three men, apparently shoemakers, were seated.
But, by way of return, I thank you for the service you have unwittingly done me." The way was open: Vinson rapidly descended, gained the street, hailed a cab. "To the Eastern Station!" "I have missed the express," he muttered; "but I shall catch the first train for those on leave."

"Lookout-man!" hailed the commodore after a bit, "how does the boat bear now?" "Dead on the weather bow, sir," returned the man the next instant. "We're about a couple o' mile off her, sir." The commodore then addressed the quarter-master aft. "Luff up!" he cried "half a point will do; and, Mr Osborne, take a pull at your lee braces. That will do steady!"

And as he did not go on until the next day at one, he proposed that we should go down to The Cheshire Cheese and get a bite of summat and then sally forth. So we hailed a bus and climbed to the top.

I think I had the luck to be present at every sudden seizure during all the passage; and on this occasion found myself in the place of importance, supporting the sufferer.
