"Yer see," began Tom Tully, "I'm a chap as allus gets bullied as soon as he opens his mouth." "Soon as what chap opens his mouth?" said the gunner. "Why, ar'n't I a-telling of you? me," growled Tom Tully. "Well, what's the matter now?" said the gunner. "Well, I was a-wondering what we was going for ashore." "Now, just hark at this here chap!" said the gunner indignantly.
"What's the matter, matey?" growled Tom Tully; "are you hurt?" "No. Go and try yourself," said the gunner, who was for the moment quite unnerved. Tom Tully squeezed by, and, making a dash forward, he too struck at the rock, and made the sparks fly, after which he poked about with the point of his cutlass, which clinked and jingled against the stones.

When Bräsig arrived, he sprang from his saddle with so much force that one might have thought he wanted to go through the road with both legs. "Oho!" cried Hawermann, "how brisk you are! You're all right now, ar'n't you?" "As right as a trivet, Charles. I've renewed my youth."
