They were genuine little true-blues, both of them, and went to sea the moment their legs were long enough, and came home, voyage after voyage, with gifts of curiosities and gifts of money to their worthy parents. Dumps resided during the remainder of his days with Captain Ellice, and Poker dwelt with Buzzby. These truly remarkable dogs kept up their attachment to each other to the end.
Two days later still, and another feast was given. On this occasion Buzzby was the host, and Buzzby's cottage was the scene. It was a joyful meeting, too, and a jolly one to boot, for O'Riley was there, and Peter Grim, and Amos Parr, and David Mizzle, and Mivins in short, the entire crew of the lost Dolphin captain, mates, surgeon, and all. Fred and his father were also there, and old Mr.
The Colonel's cigar dropped from his shaking hand; his face was ashen. Emlie and Wiggins stared at each other as if they had taken leave of their senses. Joel Quimber leaned forward, his hands folded on the head of his cane, and spoke to Octavius who sat rigid on his chair: "What'd he say, Tave? Champ to home?" But Octavius Buzzby was beyond the power of speech.
Every man did his best, and the tough oars bent like hoops as each boat's crew strove to outstrip the others. The chase and the battle The chances and dangers of whaling war Buzzby dives for his life and saves it So does the whale and loses it An anxious night, which terminates happily, though with a heavy loss.
"Leave the half o' ye to guard the arms, and come on the rest of ye without 'em," shouted Buzzby. The men obeyed, and in a few minutes the two parties mingled together with the utmost confidence.
He got through with it, however, and then Mrs Buzzby intimated her wish, pretty strongly, that the neighbours should vacate the premises; which they did, laughingly, pronouncing Buzzby to be a "trump", and his better half a "true blue." "Good-day, old chap," said the last who made his exit; "tiller's fixed agin nailed amidships? eh!"
He wrote to Buzzby, "by manes of the ritin' he had larn'd aboord the Dolfin," informing him that he had forsaken the "say" and become a small farmer near Cork. He had plenty of murphies and also a pig the latter "bein'," he said, "so like the wan that belonged to his owld grandmother that he thought it must be the same wan comed alive agin, or its darter."
In a few minutes Buzzby and the Esquimaux leader came to a mutual understanding as to the friendly disposition of their respective parties, and the woman was delivered up to this big fellow, who turned out to be her husband after all, as O'Riley had correctly guessed. The other Esquimaux, seeing the amicable terms on which the leaders met, crowded in and surrounded them.
Buzzby intimated her wish, pretty strongly, that the neighbours should vacate the premises, which they did laughingly, pronouncing Buzzby to be "a trump," and his better half "a true blue." "Good day, old chap," said the last who made his exit; "tiller's fixed agin nailed amid-ships, eh?"
It appeared, suddenly, not twenty yards from the mate's boat, where Buzzby, who was harpooner, stood in the bow ready to give it the iron. "Spring, lads, spring!" shouted the mate, as the whale spouted into the air a thick stream of water. The boat dashed up, and Buzzby planted his harpoon vigorously.
