A man when suddenly cast into the water for the first time has been known to swim long and well; and the Irishman, by the most furious effort, had saved himself from strangling and sinking, although he had swallowed a good deal of the nauseating sea-water, and was now ejecting it. "Worrah! I took an overdose that time, and it wouldn't sthay on my stomach!" he said.
"A picture of that treasure cave with us loading the treasure on the yacht." "Now you are talking, Tom!" cried his older brother. "We all want that. I am sorry we have been delayed here." "How long vos ve going to sthay here?" questioned Hans. "The repairs will take the best part of a week, so the ship builders said." "Ain't you afraid dot Sid Merrick got ahead of you?" "I don't know.
"Lave the room, is it, miss? Widout maning anny disrespect to yez, I might as well be telling yez that I'm ready to lave the place intirely, an' so is the cook an' stableman, an' the gardener.

I talked of leaving, I suppose, from time to time because sheer financial necessity was about to compel it. "Fine, Rourke," I would say, "never better. I'm feeling better every day." "That's good. Ye're the right man in the right place now. If ye was to sthay a year er two at this work it would be the makin' av ye. Ye're too thin.
It's firewood ye'll need, an' in a dry place. An' while ye're talkin' 'bout wood, have yer got yer wood fer the winter? An' yer goin' to sthay, ye bin tellin' me."
