You have no idea how curious the public is in that way. For another, you, as the injured party, ought not to comment; and certainly I could not publish your views.
A bight of steel cable was gotten around the breech, and then passed to a big bitt, or stanchion, bolted to the deck. Koku, working on the heaving deck, amid the hurricane, took a turn around the brace. There came a roll of the ship that threatened to send the gun sliding against the stanchion, but Koku braced himself.
Ellinwood got out two stout lines and made one fast around Code's waist, leading it to the starboard bitt. The other fastened Jimmie to the port bitt, so that if they were washed overboard they might be hauled back to safety and life again. "Looks like she was blowin' up a little!" remarked Pete later in the day as the Lass rolled down to her sheerpoles in a sudden rain squall.
Preserving it now, he gave his hand to Bill but did not move his position. "It is a great pleasure to me to meet you, sir," Bill told him. "You have only lately joined the ranks of journalism, Mr. Bitt tells me," Mr. Vivian Howard graciously replied. "It is the stepping-stone to literature. Never forget that. Never lose sight of that.

When he seemed to have settled the matter to his satisfaction, he seated himself on the other towing bitt.

I was very much shocked at my having so soon forgotten the injunctions of my parents, and was making vows never to be so foolish again, when in came the midshipman who had been so kind to me the night before. "Come, Mr Bottlegreen," he bawled out, alluding, I suppose, to the colour of my clothes, "rouse and bitt. There's the captain's coxswain waiting for you below.
Duncan, who, with a life line about him, was clinging to a bitt aft, and watching things with tight lips, a drawn face and shiny eyes. We listened to hear what else he might have to say. But he didn't realize at once what it meant. His eyes and his mind were on the Lucy Foster. "What d'y'think of the Lucy and the Withrow, Tommie?" Mr. Duncan said next.

Mr. Lavender saw that he had a mouth which seemed to have a bitt in it; several hairs on a finely rounded head; and an air of efficient and truculent bonhomie tanned and wrinkled by the weather.
