"There never was a man built for the chair like Bob Eccles I say! Our evening's broke up, and I, for one, 'd ha' made it morning. Hark, outside; By Gearge! they're snowballing." An adjournment to the front door brought them in view of a white and silent earth under keen stars, and Dick Curtis and the bilious boatbuilder, foot to foot, snowball in hand. A bout of the smart exercise made Mr.
William Moody declaring himself thoroughly satisfied, "then I'm satisfied too!" said the jolly butcher; upon which the boatbuilder heightened the laugh by saying he was not satisfied at all; and to escape from the execrations of the majority, pleaded that it was because his glass was empty: thus making his peace with them. Every glass in the room was filled again.
Four clear weeks: an' Boatbuilder Wyatt could knock you up a shell in half that time. He gets cleverer with every boat of the class; and with a boat built to race once only he could make pretty well sure." Later that afternoon Mr Philp, who never lost an occasion to advertise himself, paid a call on Mr Wyatt, boatbuilder.
It has a scraggy, stunted look, and the foliage is apt to be rusty; but it will grow in rocky, sandy places where no other tree would even try to hold up its head, and the wood, when made into timber, lasts for a great many years. Posts for fences are made of the juniper or red cedar, and the shipbuilder, boatbuilder, carpenter, cabinet-maker and turner are all steady customers for it.
Somers, ask Captain Benson and Hastings to come here. We'll talk this matter over." Twenty minutes later the few devoted friends of the "Pollard" boat were gathered around Mr. Farnum's desk. "Unless I'm in great error," said the young boatbuilder, "we're in for a lively rumpus, now. Melville is aroused over our refusal to let him in to this enterprise, and he's starting an opposition.
Straight in the middle of the road the fugitive was now dashing along, until Don yelled after him: "Take to the woods, Benson! You can lose him there!" "I'll get him, anywhere on earth!" shouted Jacob Farnum, full of purpose and vim. The boatbuilder was long-legged and slim. He had been a runner at college, and now his old knack was coming back to him.
"That will make people talk, surely," acknowledged the young boatbuilder. "And there'll be pressure put upon Congress to buy your boat, and more like it," urged Captain Jack. "All the newspaper talk will be free advertising, and I imagine that the kind of advertising that newspapers are forced to give is all the best paying."
"Well, and what does that prove?" said jolly Butcher Billing. Mr. William Moody, boatbuilder, a liver-complexioned citizen, undertook to reply. "What does that prove? What does that prove when the midshipmite was found with his head in the mixedpickle jar? It proved that his head was lean, and t' other part was rounder."
It was a curious Indian file that stretched out through the woods with the uniformed boy in the lead. "You may as well stop!" yelled Jacob Farnum, after the fugitive. "I'm going to catch you, anyway!" It looked that way, indeed. Dark as it was, with the moon behind a cloud, the running boy, looking back over his shoulder, could see the enraged boatbuilder coming after him at great strides. Mr.
And we have the splendid little 'Pollard' under such perfect control that we can drop to fifty feet below the surface, as shown by our submersion gauge, and keep just at that depth." "It's all wonderful," cried the boatbuilder. "Jack, you are a genius at this work!" "There are some rather big problems to be worked out, in connection with this new idea," hinted Benson. "What are the problems?"
