Other of His disciples were called James, he was the boat-builder; then Simon, Andrew, and Thomas, the fishermen; Levi Matthew, the publican; Thaddeus, the saddler; and further but my memory is weak James, the little shepherd; Nathan, the potter; and his brother Philip, the innkeeper from Jericho; Bartholomew, the smith; and Judas, the money-changer from Carioth.
Ramsay, who had seated himself on a log on the wharf. "You will lay down the keel of the boat for Mr. Rodman on Monday won't you?" repeated Donald. "Yes, if I am able; I don't feel very well to-day." And the boat-builder doubled himself up, as though he was in great pain.
At that time Aleck Fifield, a Yankee jack-of-all-trades, who had been by turns a school-teacher, sailor, mechanic, boat-builder, and several other things as well, found himself employed as stage-carpenter in a Boston theatre.
L'Olonnois was never intended by nature to be a boat-builder, or anything else that was useful and honest, and when the boat was finished it was discovered that it had been planned so badly that it would not hold them all, so all they could do was to draw lots to see who should embark in her, for one-half of them would have to stay until the others came back to release them.
Rodman, with whom he had a long talk in regard to the building of the Maud. The gentleman had some doubts about the ability of the young boat-builder to do so large a job, though he desired to encourage him. "I am willing to give you the work, and to pay you the same price your father had for the Sea Foam; but I don't like to pay out money till I know that you are to succeed," said he.

Elias had a very good notion of what a boat should be, and it seemed to him that he had never seen a Femböring so well built below the water-line.
"More than that, I am afraid, for I shall hardly be able to collect all the money due on the notes if I lose them," replied the captain, as he left the house. He walked down to the boat shop of Mr. Ramsay. It was on the shore, and near it was the house in which the boat-builder lived.
Now, get a large board, with `Boats built to order, and boats repaired, by Tom Beazeley. You know if any man is fool enough to order a boat, that's his concern; you didn't say you're a boat-builder, although you have no objection to try your hand." "What do you say Jacob?" said old Tom, appealing to me. "I think that Tom has given very good advice, and I would follow it." "Ah!
We need scarcely say that it is not expedient for a boy to attempt to build a model boat in the same manner as a regular boat-builder constructs one for actual service.
"You'm grown out of all knowledge," Nicholls declared, "but I mind you now. So you've been in London all these years?" "I've been in London," Tavernake admitted, "and I think, of the two, that Sprey-by-the-Sea is the better place." "Sprey is well enough," the boat-builder confessed, "well enough for a man who isn't set on change." "Change," Tavernake asserted, grimly, "is an overrated joy.
