"Down with the helm!" roared the captain. "Mr.
By this time some of the men were recovering from the stunning effect of the blows they had all received, and there were sounds of rustling and scuffles. "Steady there, mate," growled one man.

"I tell you so, Massa Easy," said Mesty: "d n rascals, they forget they come down fire musket at us every day: by all de powers, Mesty not forget it." "Ship ahoy!" cried one of the men on shore. "What do you want?" replied Jack. "Have pity on us, sir mercy!" exclaimed the other men, "we will return to our duty." "Debble doubt 'em!" "What shall I say, Mesty?"

That girl would worry any man to death! Where are you? Hi! Ship ahoy! Hallo-o-o!" We need scarcely remark that Rose did not wait for the last stentorian halloo! Bounding from her lover's side, she ran to meet her father red at first and then pale exclaiming, "Oh! father I've found him!" "Found who, child?"
