Grimy sailors came down out of the foretop placidly announcing themselves as "a handful of private citizens of America, traveling simply for recreation and unostentatiously," etc.; the coal passers moved to their duties in the profound depths of the ship, explaining the blackness of their faces and their uncouthness of dress, with the reminder that they were "a handful of private citizens, traveling simply for recreation," etc., and when the cry rang through the vessel at midnight: "EIGHT BELLS! LARBOARD WATCH, TURN OUT!" the larboard watch came gaping and stretching out of their den, with the everlasting formula: "Aye-aye, sir!
Tom stood amidships, gloomy-browed, and with folded arms, and gave his orders in a low, stern whisper: "Luff, and bring her to the wind!" "Aye-aye, sir!" "Steady, steady-y-y-y!" "Steady it is, sir!" "Let her go off a point!" "Point it is, sir!"

It wailed through the swaying branches of the trees, and swept our decks in fitful gusts. Things were taking on an ugly look. The captain shouted to the steersman on the forward log: "How's she landing?" The answer came faint and hoarse from far forward: "Nor'-east-and-by-nor' east-by-east, half-east, sir." "Let her go off a point!" "Aye-aye, sir!" "What water have you got?" "Shoal, sir.
To me, sitting there, the island's old Carib name of Aye-Aye seemed the eternal consent of God to some seraph asking for this ocean pearl. All that poet or prophet had ever said of heaven became comprehensible in its daily transfigurations of light and color scintillated between wave, landscape, and cloud its sea like unto crystal, and the trees bearing all manner of fruits.
"Shake out that maintogalans'l! Sheets and braces! NOW my hearties!" "Aye-aye, sir!" "Hellum-a-lee hard a port! Stand by to meet her when she comes! Port, port! NOW, men! With a will! Stead-y-y-y!"

"Nothe-nothe-east, sir," said the old seaman, saluting. "Change your course to north." "Aye-aye, sir, north it is," said Ben. "And follow in our wake in case you are needed." "Aye-aye, sir, follow in your wake it is, yes, sir."
"I'll ask him," she replied, turning her head to look for him. But he and Cassandra were absorbed in the aye-aye once more. William and Katharine watched them for a moment, and each looked curiously at the object of the other's preference.
"Aye-aye, sir!" she replied faintly, and again her lips drooped, and her long lashes swept the firm, fair texture of her skin. "I hope that you are feeling better," I finally managed to say. "Do you know," she said after a moment of silence, "I have been awake for a long time! But I did not dare open my eyes.
