"There is not much chance of that," said Skallagrim; "still, the wind is fair, and we fly fast before it." Then they lashed the tiller and set to bailing. They bailed long, and it was heavy work, but they rid the ship of much water. After that they ate food, for it was now morning, and it came on to blow yet more strongly.
Tell me the nature of it, then I shall not be so cowardly; will the boat break?" "Lord bless you, no." "Will it upset?" "No fear of that." "Will not the sea swallow us?" "No, miss. How can the sea swallow us? She rides like a cork, and there is the skipper bailing her out, to make her lighter still.
Don Juan Montefalderon attended on this occasion, and repeated some prayers over the graves, as he had done in the morning, in the cases of the two who had been buried near the light-house. While this melancholy duty was in the course of performance, that of pumping and bailing was continued, under the immediate personal superintendence of Mulford.
They abused him in their newspapers and he, not to be outdone, ridiculed them in his speeches, shouting, "Where is Wendell Phillips, today? Lost caste everywhere. Inconsistent in all things, cowardly in this. Where is Horace Greeley in this Kansas war for liberty? Pitching the woman suffrage idea out of the Convention and bailing out Jeff Davis. Where is William Lloyd Garrison?
This lightened the craft a little, but still the waves swept over the gunwale, and now both Sam and Tom set to bailing, while the captain took both oars. Then came another blast of wind, worse than before. "I see land!" cried Sam. "We are going over!" yelled Tom, and the wind fairly whipped the words from his lips.
He worked at politics every hour whether it was patting the babies of the district on the head, or bailing their fathers out of jail, handing out shoes to the shiftless or judiciously distributing coal and ice to the deserving.
"Say, Jim, how far south's the nearest land?" "Somewhere around two thousand miles, I guess. Too far to interest us any. I think it's one of the West Indies." The wind was growing stronger, the sea rougher. Now and then a young flood set both boys bailing, Jim with the bucket, Percy with the scoop. "Won't do to let it gain too much on us," remarked Jim.
"You returned him his property which you had borrowed, and at the same time put into his hands some property of your own. I don't know whether it ought to be considered as only giving him back his dipper, or bailing him the fish." "I did not want the fish," said Henry. "No," said Mary. "It is a knotty case. Let us go and ask father about it." "O, I don't want to go," said Henry.
Dan had for some time been bailing, having only undertaken the work in obedience to Vincent's angry orders, being too ill to care much what became of them. "Now, Dan, I am going to bring her head up to the wind, so get ready to throw off that halyard and gather in the sail as it; comes down. That's right, man; now down with the mast."
David being amidships, bailing the boat out, and Jack at the helm, she took the opportunity, and got very close to the latter, and said in his ear "Mr. Jack, we are in danger." "Not exactly in danger, miss; but, of course, we must mind our eye. But I have often been where I have had to mind my eye, and hope to be again." "Mr. Jack," said Lucy, shivering, "what is our danger?
