On one of these days, too, Ben Boltrope went fishing from the lower cliffs, just above the bay at the head of the creek on account of the sea there being calmer, and no breakers ruffling the water near.
"That's right, McCarthy, we've no time to lose. Send one of the hands forwards to see how her head lies." "Aye, aye, sorr. Mr Adams has gone already sure: an' I've sint the carpenter, Boltrope, to sound the well." "He'd better by far sound alongside, to see what depth of water we're in and which would be the best side for launching the boats off!" replied Captain Dinks.
"I will," and "I," and "I," cried out several of the seamen, laughing and passing all sorts of chaff about the expedition; and soon there were more than enough offers to man the jolly-boat twice over if all had been taken who offered. Ben Boltrope was one of the first to stand out; but Mr Meldrum at once motioned him back. "You must not go," said he.
"Flag!" echoed Boltrope, dropping his trumpet in amazement "that's a big word to come out of a jolly-boat! Jack Manly himself could not have spoken it with a fuller mouth; but I'll know who it is that carries such a weather helm, with a Yankee man-of-war's prize! Boat ahoy! I say."
