I have my misgivin's, gentlemen, touching this great floe that has got jammed in among these islands, whether it will ever move ag'in; for I don't think its coming in here is a common matter." "In which case, what would become of us, Stephen?"
You know there is little amusement in a sailor's walking on the levellest 'arth and handsomest highways, on account of the bloody ups and downs a fellow meets with; and so you may get some idee of the time we had of it, when I tell you, had all the seas we saw in the last blow been piled on top of each other, they would have made but a large pancake, compared to them 'ere Andes.

You've heard tell of the treasure that old Sir James de la Molle buried in the time of the Roundheads?" "Yes, yes.

"A hundred yards farther on I will show you a light." Two or three blazing brands were brought up.

Harry asked as he stopped at the foot of the barrier. "Because we shall sleep a dog-goned sight better with it there.
