Sam'l resented this, and prepared to depart again. "Ye'll no tell Bell that?" he asked, anxiously. "Tell her what?" "Aboot me an' Mysy." "We'll see hoo ye behave yersel', Sam'l." "No 'at I care, Eppie; ye can tell her gin ye like. I widna think twice o' tellin' her mysel'." "The Lord forgie ye for leein', Sam'l," said Eppie, as he disappeared down Tammy Tosh's close.

Then they lifted Jacobs on to the hatch, and when he had gone, Jock. When Jock was lifted, a sort of sudden shiver ran through the crowd. He had been a favourite in a quiet way, and I know I felt, all at once, just a bit queer. I was standing by the rail, upon the after bollard, and Tammy was next to me; while Plummer stood a little behind.

Both Tammy and I were tremendously keen to have another look; but when at last we got a chance, the sky reflected so much on the water, we could see nothing below. We had just finished sweeping up when four bells went, and we cleared below for tea. Some of the men got chatting while they were grubbing. "I 'ave 'eard," remarked Quoin, "as we're goin' ter shorten 'er down afore dark."

"No need to take him into the berth," said the Second Mate. "Put him down on the after hatch. I've sent the other lad for some brandy." Then the brandy came, we dosed Tammy and soon brought him round. He sat up, with a somewhat dazed air. Otherwise, he seemed quiet and sane enough. "What's up?" he asked. He caught sight of the Second Mate. "Have I been ill, Sir?" he exclaimed.

"Up and furl it, a couple of you," he sung out. I went towards the starboard rigging; then I hesitated. No one else had moved. The Second Mate came among us. "Come on now, lads," he said. "Make a move. It's got to be done." "I'll go," I said. "If someone else will come." Still, no one stirred, and no one answered. Tammy came across to me. "I'll come," he volunteered, in a nervous voice.

When these are tender, pass them through the tammy and return them to the soup. Chop up the chervil, adding to it half a dessert-spoonful of cornflour. Quarter of an hour before serving, put in the chervil, but take the cover off the pot, so that it remains a good green color. Pepper and salt to be added also. Soak your dried peas over-night.

The man who was holding the light, swept it round so that it showed the place where Williams had struck the deck. The Second Mate spoke abruptly. "Get a broom and a couple of buckets, some of you." He turned sharply, and ordered Tammy on to the poop. As soon as he had seen the yard mast-headed, and the ropes cleared up, he followed Tammy.

I told him about the great shadow vessel, and I said something about Tammy I mean about my not being sure now whether he had tried to jump overboard. Because, you see, I began to realise that I had seen the shadow; and I remembered the stirring of the water above the submerged truck. But the Second did not wait, of course, for any theories, but was away, like a shot, to see for himself.

The possibility of her marrying had for years been, as they thought, out of the question; and of all the young men of their acquaintance, Buckhurst Falconer was the very last whom they would have suspected to have any design upon aunt Tammy she had long and often been the subject of his ridicule.

The bishop, old, and almost doting, governed by his sister Tammy, who was an admirable housekeeper, and kept his table exquisitely, was brought, though very reluctantly, to consent to their marriage. Not so acquiescent, however, were Miss Tammy's two nephews, French and English Clay. They had looked upon her wealth as their indefeasible right and property.
