"Hallo! there," shouted Joe, in a voice that would have been creditable to a boatswain, "come on deck if ye don't want to be drownded." "Hooroo!" added Malone, "we're goin' to the bottom! Look alive wid ye." "Ay, an' bring up the childers," yelled Mrs Lynch. "Don't lave wan o' thim below." Of course, the poor emigrants were not slow to obey these startling orders.
The Captain darted a triumphant glance in the direction of the tutor. But the tutor was investigating the contents of a game pie in the endeavour to discover a piece of egg for Miss Jill. After a pause that young lady took up her discourse. "If father and Roger go to town, Tom, we shall have dear Mr Armstrong all to ourselves." "Hooroo!" said Tom; "that is, if it's holidays."
Will Osten had just uttered an exclamation of surprise, and the others had not had time to reply to the question, "Hallo! what's become of Larry?" when that worthy's voice was heard shouting in the distance, and his horse's hoofs were heard clattering along the narrow track as he approached at full gallop.

Lay on to it, you fellows; he can't go straight! Six more strokes and you're into him! One, two, three ha, ha! he's funking it! four, five now a good one for the last six! Hooroo! bump to us! Welch's for ever!"
