"Aye, aye, sir," we made answer, under his nose, having been scurrying forwards while he was speaking, the Irish mate adding in his native vernacular, "Begorrah, we'll rig up the whole, sir, in the twinkling of a bedpost, sure!" "Hullo!" exclaimed the skipper, "is that you, O'Neil?" "Faith, all that's lift of me, sir!" "How's that? I was just going to send down to your cabin to rouse you out."
