"You young rascal, is this the way you get dinner for your comrades? Is this the way you attend to the duty for which you're detailed? Waste rations in some fool experiment and scatter good food all over the ground? Biler, put on your arms and take Klegg to the guard-houae. I'll make you pay for this nonsense, sir, in a way that you won't forget in a hurry, I'll be bound."
"Oh, I don't know," said Josiah Dimick, with a grin, "we let him do some of the talkin' himself up here. Down at the boardin' house Keturah and Angie Phinney do it all." "Yes. Still, if a feller was condemned to live over a biler factory he wouldn't hanker to get a job IN it, would he?
But before he was thirty, his laugh had become a cackle, and Colonel Martin Culpepper, who would saunter along when Barclay would limp by on Main Street, would call out after him, "Slow down, Johnnie, slow down, boy, or you'll bust a biler."
So it went on for a year or two, till, one fall, I was stayin' here to your ma's, Cornele, I guess you remember the time, helpin' of her make up her quinces and apples. We was jest in the midst of bilin' cider, with one biler on the stove and the biggest brass kittle full in the fireplace, when in comes boltin' Miss Jaynes, dressed up as fine as a fiddle.
Your coppers is got bilin', leastwise if they beant all biled out you'd best drink stret away, I guess, afore the bottom of the biler gits left bare for if it does, and it's red hot now, boy, you'll be a blowin' up, like an old steamboat, when you pumps in fresh water."
'You air fortunate, sir, in having an opportunity of beholding our Elijah Pogram, sir. 'Your Elijahpogram! said Martin, thinking it was all one word, and a building of some sort. 'Yes sir. Martin tried to look as if he understood him, but he couldn't make it out. 'Yes, sir, repeated the gentleman, 'our Elijah Pogram, sir, is, at this minute, identically settin' by the engine biler.
Jim looked at her, loitered, played with his cap, and seemed unwilling to leave. "I'm comm' up to-morrow mornin', marm, just to 'ave one more look at that biler." He then walked out. "I suppose I must prosecute now," said Mr. Furze. "Prosecute! Nothing of the kind. What is your object? It is to get rid of him, and let Catharine see what he is.
"Whar are you, you young cuss of life?" Upon this the young cuss of life slowly emerged from the forecastle, holding a cold potato in his hand. The scene on deck made no impression on him, but he walked aft with his eyes fixed on Zac. "Stand there!" commanded Zac; and Biler stood.
Carmack told me he was pinning his faith on you. He's a long-headed man, Nick, a very far-seeing man, who knows boys and is not easily deceived. He believes in you; so do I, and a lot of other fellows. You're going to make good, and I know it." "Well, I'm going to keep on fighting, that's all I can say, Hugh," replied Nick grimly. "I'll get there, or bust the biler trying.
"It may bust at any moment." As though to confirm his words fearful sounds were heard proceeding from below. "It's only the boy," said the mate, "he's scared natural." "I thought it was the biler," said the skipper, with a sigh of relief. "It was loud enough."
