"Aisy, now avast row of all!" he cried out in turn; and then, with a sullen, grating sound the boat brought up against a large mass of broken timberwork which the men had no difficulty in recognising as the larger portion of the poop deck.

My care is heavier than theirs is; but not my work, nor my danger in time of danger.
Look yonder!" cried Rodd, as, sweeping the park-like stretch around him, he suddenly caught sight of an object that filled his breast with joy. "Three cheers, my lads," shouted Joe, waving his hand, "and Oh, hold hard! Avast there! Gig's safe to have a hole through her bottom."

"Of course you want to shield the boy all you can, but I 'm sure in my mind that he is guilty." "And I'm positive in my own mind that I'm innocent," said I, and I jumped to the ground. "Roger Strong!" he cried, stepping back in surprise; and I saw Chris Holtzmann give a start.
