We were still in the state of siege by the cholera, and there was still no communication with the Greek islands, so that I accepted the offer made by my English colleague, the amiable and gratefully remembered Charles H. Dickson, of whose qualities I shall have to say more in the pages to come, of a passage on a Brixham schooner to Zante.
267 surged quickly under my feet, as the pressure of the downward-bearing bobstay was removed. Half-a-dozen men of the foc'sle had already thrown out fenders, and stood by to bear off a just visible bulwark. Still going astern, we touched slowly, broadside on, to a suggestive crunching of fenders, and I looked into the deck of a Brixham trawler, her crew struck dumb.
"I wish I might speak to you, sir," said the landlady, very piteously. "About Morgan, I suppose? He has cooled himself at the pump. Can't take him back, Mrs. Brixham. Impossible. I'd determined to part with him before, when I heard of his dealings in the discount business I suppose you've heard of them, Mrs. Brixham? My servant's a capitalist, begad." "Oh, sir," said Mrs.
But the contemporaneity of those at Brixham with the extinct animals is demonstrated not only by the occurrence at one point in overlying stalagmite of the bone of a cave-bear, but also by the discovery at the same level in the bone-earth, and in close proximity to a very perfect flint tool, of the entire left hind-leg of a cave-bear. This specimen, which was shown me by Dr. Falconer and Mr.
I couldn't help liking the chap," would shout Lingard when telling the story; and looking around at the eyes that glittered at him through the smoke of cheroots, this Brixham trawler-boy, afterward a youth in colliers, deep-water man, gold-digger, owner and commander of "the finest brig afloat," knew that by his listeners seamen, traders, adventurers like himself this was accepted not as the expression of a feeling, but as the highest commendation he could give his Malay friend.
Brixham, who, in consideration of sixty pounds advanced by me five years since, has paid back to me the sum of two hundred and fifty pounds sterling, besides giving me a note of hand for one hundred and twenty pounds, which I restore to her at the desire of my late master, Major Arthur Pendennis, and therewith free her furniture, of which I had a bill of sale. Have you written?"
But do not confuse the mind of the country on the question of crab-pots. We do not get the Brixham papers here, but friends in London tell us that is what they say. It is the same with the crabs we have to order them from London.
Binder; I met him at the Thersites' Lodge down Brixham way only the other day. One of those men I respect. Binder. No respecter of persons talks to me or you or any of them just the same. Binder! BALD: Ar! it's a case of "Well done, Condor!" CAP: Ar! you're right there, Mr. Binder. Mowle. Condor."
What good can I do this poor devil of a woman? I'll give her twenty pound there's Warrington's twenty pound, which he has just paid but what's the use? She'll want more, and more, and more, and that cormorant Morgan will swallow all. No, dammy, I can't afford to know poor people; and to-morrow I'll say Good-bye to Mrs. Brixham and Mr. Morgan."
In the Harleian Tracts there is a short, but rather curious account preserved of the sensation produced at the Abbey on the 5th of November, 1688, after the prince of Orange had entered the bay with his fleet, on their passage to Brixham, where he landed: "The prince commanded captain M to search the lady Cary's house, at Torr Abbey, for arms and horses.
