We talked it over for about five minutes through one of the artillery, wheels, and I must say he took it beautifully.
Indeed, it is a recently sunken and still sinking portion of Europe, so much so that the coasts on both sides are constantly receding, and when Heligoland was handed over by the English to the Kaiser, it was said that he would have to keep jacking it up or soon there would be none left.
"Uncle Eb and I sat by the fire until twelve o'clock. He sang songs, and told tip-top stories about coon hunts. I tell you it was fun! I'd rather see a coon hunt than go out at night jacking, especially if I got a ducking instead of a deer, like some bungling fellows I know."

If he'd had the sense of a jelly-fish he'd have Here! Sit still! You'll upset the boat, you fool! What What are you going to do with that oar?"
