"They're in no danger at all," said Dab, "If their own boats don't take 'em all ashore, the coast-wreckers will." "The government life-savers, I s'pose you mean." "Yes: they're all alongshore, here, everywhere. Hark! there goes the distress-gun. Bang away! It sounds a good deal more mad than scared." So it did; and so they were, captain, pilot, passengers, and all.
The Prince and Princess of Wales came up to Paris in the beginning of May, from Italy, Egypt, and alongshore, stayed at a hotel on the Place Vendome, where they can get beef that is not horse, and is rare, and beer brewed in the royal dominions, and have been entertained with cordiality by the Emperor.
They drove these great schooners alongshore winter and summer; across Nantucket Shoals and around Cape Cod, and their salvation depended on shortening sail ahead of the gale. Let the wind once blow and the sea get up, and it was almost impossible to strip the canvas off an unwieldy six-master. The captain's chief fear was of being blown offshore, of having his vessel run away with him!
From the paltriest fishing-craft to such majestic galleys as were steered by Coleridge and by Goethe, each division of the fleet has done or has essayed its turn of work; some busied in dredging alongshore, some taking surveys of this or that gulf or headland, some putting forth through shine and shadow into the darkness of the great deep.
"I will accept the invitation, Tunis. But I feel I feel that all is not for the best. But what must be must be. So oh, I'll go!" The benison of that most beautiful season of all the year, the autumn, lay upon Wreckers' Head and the adjacent coast on that Sunday morning. Alongshore there is never any sad phase of the fall. One reason is the lack of deciduous trees.
"If we were to agree with you, should we not have to say that the prophets should have kept their visions to themselves, and that Luther should have remained in his cell, and Columbus have coasted alongshore and not insisted on what was to all the world an absurdity?" "Come, Miss Walton," said Gregory, with a vexed laugh as they rose from the table, "you are a witch.
"'Look here, I says to him; 'if you'd been worth a continental you might have had some of this. As it is, you'll be farmed out somewheres that's what'll happen to YOU." And as Zoeth was telling this, in comes Cap'n Benijah. He was happy, too. "I cal'late the Lamonts must be buying all the property alongshore," he says when he heard the news.
As we neared the mouth of the harbor, a little breeze now and then wrinkled the blue water, shook the spangles from the foliage, and gently lifted the spiral mist-wreaths that still clung alongshore. The measured dip of our oars and the drowsy twitterings of the birds seemed to mingle with, rather than break, the enchanted silence that reigned about us.
"In the old days there used to be a sort of water-gypsy, with a queer little trading-boat that plied the region of the bends a queer little old man, too Polish, I think, foreign certainly and the butt of all the wags alongshore, at the stores and the wood-yards, the cotton-sheds and the wharf-boats.
Then Dillaway was took sick, and Peter, who was just back from his wedding tower, brought the Montana victims down to the Cape with the excuse to give 'em a good time alongshore, but really to keep 'em safe and out of the way till Ebenezer got well enough to finish robbing 'em. Belle Peter's wife stayed behind to look after papa.
