After coming with Bax to Deal he had been adopted, as it were, by the co-partners of the hovel, and was, so to speak, shared equally by Bax, Bluenose, old Jeph, and Tommy.
Bax and Bluenose descried her, but both of them were so well aware of the impossibility of a large boat venturing among the shoals and breakers that they tacitly resolved not to acquaint their comrades with its presence, lest they should raise false hopes, which, when disappointed, might plunge them into still deeper despair.
But, I say, Guy, my boy, you han't took to drinkin', have ye?" "No, Captain," said Guy, with a smile, "nothing stronger than beer, and not much of that. I merely came here to meet Bax." Captain Bluenose whose name, by the way, had no reference to his nose, for that was small and red scratched his chin and stared into vacancy, as if he were meditating.
It appears to me if I was a Bluenose I'd but thank fortin' I ain't, so I says nothin'; but there is somethin' that ain't altogether jist right is this country, that's a fact. "But what a country this Bay country is, isn't it? Look at that medder, bean't it lovely? The prayer-eyes of Illanoy are the top of the ladder with us, but these dykes take the shine off them by a long chalk, that's sartin.
We will suppose that the ship is complete in hull, successfully launched, and properly rigged and masted. The two questions still remaining are: what is her crew like, and how does she sail? The typical British North American crew of the nineteenth-century sailing ship is the Bluenose crew.
He had not much to spare, however, for he had, among other things, set himself energetically to the study of arithmetic and navigation under the united guidance of old Jeph and Bluenose. Lucy Burton paid a long visit to Mrs Foster, and roamed over the Sandhills day after day with her friend Amy, until her father, the missionary, came and claimed her and carried her back to Ramsgate.
Bluenose was a man of peculiar and decided character. He did not at all relish his position in the drawing-room when he thought of his sister Mrs Laker supping in the kitchen. Being an impulsive man, he seized his cap, and said abruptly to his hostess: "I'll tell 'ee wot it is, marm, I aint used to this 'ere sort o' thing.
The Captain's rejoinder was cut short by the boy in question sending the bow of the boat crash against the wharf, an exploit which had the effect of pitching him heels over head into the bottom of it. "Why didn't you give us a hail, uncle?" remonstrated the boy, as he rose and rubbed his elbows. "Good practice, my lad, it's good practice," replied Bluenose, chuckling, as he stepped in.
I want you to do me still another favour, Guy." "What is that?" "To let Tommy Bogey go as supercargo. He's seaman enough to go as first mate, but he's too young for that yet. Also, I want to take Bluenose as a free passenger." "A free passenger!" said Guy, looking at the Captain with surprise.
Seeing this, Lawrence suddenly seized him by the nape of the neck, and exclaiming, "Come, look sharp, Bluenose, get in with 'ee," gave him a lift that put the matter at rest by sending him sprawling on board. Next moment they were off, and shooting down the rapid current of the river.
