"Goodness!" exclaimed Jennie, suddenly. "This skiff is all wet. My feet are soaked." "Why, what's the matter?" asked Nancy. "The water is over my shoes, too." "I bet those girls slopped some into the boat when they launched her," declared Jennie, angrily. "Wish we had a bailer. Why, Jennie! the boat's leaking!" But Jennie had already found that out. And she found where it was leaking.
Efter a lang laberlethan, the bailer got three shies at Batchy's wickets, because he tried to het what they ca'd a sneak. But he missed ilky time, an' syne Batchy wallapit the ba' a' ower the Common, an' floo frae end to end o' the wickets like's he wasna wyse.
He then took the bailer and got rid of the water that had found its way on board, Dan, after getting down the sail, having collapsed utterly. "Now, Dan, sit up; there, man, the motion is much easier now, and we are taking no water on board. I will give you a glass of rum, that will put new strength into you. It's lucky we put it in the basket in case of emergency."
*Partly to show the indispensableness of this act, it may here be stated, that, in the old Dutch fishery, a mop was used to dash the running line with water; in many other ships, a wooden piggin, or bailer, is set apart for that purpose. Your hat, however, is the most convenient.
At his command, the man took the bailer and threw salt water into his face. The Athenian's anchor was up-and-down when they came alongside, and Churchill was at the end of his last remnant of strength. "Stop her! Stop her!" he shouted hoarsely. "Important message! Stop her!" Then he dropped his chin on his chest and slept.
We are far more comfortably housed than the poor Esquimaux, and even Peter there lives no warmer than we do do you, Peter?" "Womegun hetter than this; but this place very comforble. I no fraid freeze here." "Well, George, I must turn doctor now, and try to stop this cold; for as yet it is no worse. Peter, make a fire outside, and heat the iron bailer full of salt water.
Buddy weaved dizzily in his tracks; nevertheless, his hand was steady, and he applied a gradually increasing pressure to the brake. Nor did he take his eyes from his task until the drum had ceased revolving and the runaway bailer hung motionless in the well. When he finally looked about it seemed to him that he had lived a long time and was very old.
A second raid was made upon Nelly's wardrobe two big bailer shells. Elated, freshly shaved and smiling, he was a different sort from the individual who had shamefacedly slipped over the side of the steamer, bereft of everything but life. He said he would be back in two weeks, and to the day he appeared. His youthful third wife he handed down into the boat, and the boat was full of their luggage.
He knew at first glance what had happened, and a frightened cry burst from his throat, but it was a cry too short, too hoarse, to serve as a warning. During that moment of inattention the bailer had stuck.
"It has not bled much," Vincent said, looking down at it. "No, sah, not much blood on de shirt." "Pull the coat down as far as the elbow, Dan, and bathe it for a bit." Using his cap as a bailer, Dan bathed the arm for ten minutes, then the wet pad was placed in position, and with some difficulty the coat got on again.
