And, for the better carrying out of the simile, there presently arose, somewhere outside, a long, drawling hail, calculated, with a mariner's nicety, to overcome the wind. "Ah-o-oy! The house, ah-o-oy!" It came from the landward-looking or highroad side of the house about two points on the starboard bow, as old Crump would have said.
They fell to cheering. Voices arose in confusion. "Vulcan ahoy! Vulcan ah-o-oy!" they bellowed in an effort to span the miles with human ices. "Say, lads, she ain't movin'!" cried someone making the surprising discovery. "Faith and phwat's th' matter with her now?" exclaimed Hogan in exasperated wonder. A silence fell over the boisterous group.
Towering columns of rain swept across the landscape; Crump and the pony looked soaked to the core; and I was admiring the Spartan devotion to duty that brought him out at this hour, in such weather, when he began another wailing like a castaway banshee: "Ah-o-oy, the house! Pendarves, ah-o-oy!" I set a hand to either side of my mouth and roared an answering hail to him up the wind.
