"Oh! come! save my father!" cried Alice Martell, in a tone that might have moved the very ice around her to pity. "My child, my child!" came the agonized voice of the father.

A chunk of anthracite coal is softer than that particular organ this morning. Be sure to show Matt in the minute he comes up from the dock." Mr. Skinner needed no urging when, less than two hours later, Captain Matt Peasley arrived. Mr. Skinner greeted him courteously and followed him into Cappy's office. "Well, well, well!"

I'm not going to guy anyone as long as I steam not when they're new to the business an' anxious to learn.

'T was a little bit of a shote not a hog just a shote, Poney no bigger'n a lump of anthracite I saw it that made all the mess. Anybody can be ditched, I guess."
It must be a passion; a fire burning with the steady flame of anthracite fed by a constant stream of oil. If it be less we will be swept off our feet by the tides all around, or sucked under by their swift current.
