He happened to be gazing in admiration at the gendarme when he fell. In another moment he had plunged overboard after him, caught him by the collar, and held him up. The gendarme could not swim. In the first agony of fear he threw about his huge limbs, and almost drowned his rescuer. "Be aisy, won't 'ee!" shouted Ted, holding him at arm's length, and striving to keep out of his grasp.
"But, Terrence, the most serious question is, what are we going to do?" "Now that's sensible. Let me see, Misther Williams, what's the nearest port? Isn't there a town above on this coast?" "Yes, not more than ten miles away around that point o' land we'll find a willage." "Why not put in there?" "Yes, we kin; but, hang it, how am I a-goin' to git back to Baltimore?" "Oh, that's aisy enough.
"If I ever had the honour of your acquaintance, sir," answered Mary, "I forget you entirely." "Forget me, Mary? arrah be aisy is it forget the man that was courtin' and in love with you?"
"Why not? what's to prevent you from chattin' wid her in an aisy pleasant way in the streets; nobody will obsarve any thing then, or think it strange that a gentleman should have a funny piece o' discoorse wid a fortune-teller." "I don't know that; observations might be made afterwards." "But what can she do for you that I can't?
"Thank you, kindly, ma'am," replied Alley, with a toss of her head which implied anything but gratitude for this allusion to her complexion: "a good sleep, ma'am, will bring back the bloom and that's aisy done, ma'am, to any one who has youth on their side. The color will come and go then, but let a wrinkle alone for keepin' its ground."
"You must set it down, then," replied the other, "that both will happen, ay, an' that you must yourself shed blood and take life when it come your turn. Howanever, that will soon come aisy to you; a little practice, and two or three opportunities of seeing the thing done, an' you'll begin to take delight in it."
"Sure I won't lie aisy to-night if ye don't. But for you poor 'Michael' here might have been on that place ye spoke of that Quarantine, whatever it is. Ye saved him from that. And don't despise it because it's an American dollar. Sure it has a value all over the wurrld. An' besides I have no English money." Poor Peg pleaded that O'Farrell should take it.
The next instant the big 1010 leaped forward like a blooded horse under an unmerited cut of the whip, slid past the yard limits telegraph office and shot out upon the main line of the Western Division. "Sit down, Misther Halkett, an' make yerself aisy!" yelled Callahan across the cab. "'Tis small use Jimmy Shovel'll have for his box this night."
He put up a hand in front of the colonel's face a broad and compelling hand. "Now I'm going along on the old orders and the clock tells ye that ye have a scant twinty minutes to wait. And if I do any more talking, of the kind that ain't necessary, I'll break a rule. Be aisy, Colonel Shaw!" He resumed his noisy promenade.
They hardly waited for the word, but, shouldering the ladders, ran forward through the dropping bullets to the gate, cheering and cheered by the rear ranks. But they flung themselves in vain on the gate. On its iron-bound and iron-studded framework their axes made no impression. A dozen men charged it, using a ladder as a battering ram. "Aisy with that, ye blind ijjits!" yelled an Irish sergeant.
