Then let the messengers go in the long-boat to find the store of medicines. Harkee, shipmaster, two days, no longer, for their return! Failing this, the hostages feed the fishes.

But don't you admit that I am an eccentric old fellow?" "And doesn't your lordship admit that I am an eccentric young fellow?" "Ay, but, harkee, Mr. Woodward," said the peer, "I always sleep with one eye open." "And I," replied Harry, "sleep with both eyes open." "Come, confound me, that beats me, you must get on in life, and I will consider your pretensions to my niece."

"'And harkee, lads, said I, taking up the tone of encouragement he spoke with, 'if we take her, I promise to claim nothing of the prize. Whatever we capture you shall divide among yourselves. "'It's very easy to divide what we never had, said one; 'Nearly as easy as to give it, cried another; 'I'll never light match or draw cutlass in the cause, said a third.

The old man looked into the clouded face before him and continued, earnestly: "A dream, I tell you. Let the morning wind scatter these vapors; you are young, and the world is before you. Harkee, lad, for I speak for your own good nothing less.

Dodge, I suppose you know, has been a passenger with me once or twice?" "I have heard as much they say he was tigerish in the fight with the niggers quite an out-and-outer."

"And he has sprung his foremast and he shall see I know it! Harkee, Bunting, make the Druid's number to lie by the prize; and when that's answered, tell him to take charge of the Frenchman, and to wait for further orders.

You see, Sir Jarvy, you see, Admiral Blue, that our signal-officer is ashore, with a report for us; and meeting me in the hall, he made it to me first like, that I might bring it up to you a'terwards.

I'll maintain they are, ye dotterels, and will prove it to your brazen faces, by justice I mean, this trusty piece of cold iron by my side. With this he lugged it out and flourished with it.

And Weld ran up to me, and though I was a good piece of a lad, swung me lightly onto his shoulder. "Harkee, Master Richard," he said, "I can get nothing out of the poltroons by shouting.
