The climax was put to the matter by the sudden rushing up on deck of Mr McCarthy, whom Captain Dinks had told to go below until the morning watch. "Be jabers, cap'en," he exclaimed, "she's druv in her starboard streeks against the rocks, and the wather is pouring in like winking. Faix, it is breaking up she'll be before were out of her, sure!"
The omahdawn, he was looking up at the spars and tellin' the cap'en about taking the topsails off her, as she was carrying too much sail, instead of mindin' his own business and lookin' to the steering; and, faix, he let the ship broach to, bad cess to him!" "And how are you getting on now, on deck?" asked Mr Meldrum.
Simmons; "that tune don't fit any hymn I know. P'r'aps, though, they sing it in some of them churches up to Cincinnaty," she charitably continued. "Cap'en," said she, at breakfast, next morning, when the other guests had departed, "is your mind at peace?" "Peace?" echoed the captain "peaceful as the Ohio at low water."
The Captain was frightened to dead 'If you would Ma'am, he said with submission, 'it would oblige me. I can't keep my money very well. It pays itself out. I should take it kind if you'd comply. 'Well, Cap'en Cuttle, said the unconscious MacStinger, rubbing her hands, 'you can do as you please. It's not for me, with my family, to refuse, no more than it is to ask.
Father took off his hat with his right hand and scratched his head deliberately and deliberatively with his left, `humming' and `hawing' over this crucial question. "Well, sir Cap'en Mordaunt that is, begging your pardon, sir, ag'in," said he "as you goes on to make sich a favour on it, sir, we'll see about it, sir." "See about it?
But he rattled the glass all the same as he looked down upon us, none the less; aye, all the more, rattled it with a will, frightening us all! "Hi! Cap'en, Cap'en Applegarth!" he sang out at the very top of his voice, as excited as you please. "That ship's in sight! the ship's in sight, at last, sir. She's hull down to leeward about seven miles off!
"Have you got everything aboard the boats?" he sang out in his customary voice to Mr Macdougall, his tones as firm and clear as if he had not been a moment before almost on the point of crying. "Are all the provisions and water in?" "Aye, aye, an' stoowed awa', too, Cap'en," answered the mate, to whom had been entrusted the execution of all the necessary details.
'I said it wasn't Cap'en Cuttle's house and it ain't his house and forbid it, that it ever should be his house for Cap'en Cuttle don't know how to keep a house and don't deserve to have a house it's my house and when I let the upper floor to Cap'en Cuttle, oh I do a thankless thing, and cast pearls before swine!
"Can't say as 'ow I does, Cap'en." "You chuckle-headed swab! Don't you know we're at war?" "I did 'ear some talk about it in a pub one night," Chipmunk admitted. "'Oo are we fighting? Dutchmen or Dagoes?" "Dutchmen." Chipmunk spat in his horny hands, rubbed them together and smiled. As each individual hair on his face seemed to enter into the smile, the result was sinister.
I'd known Seth Crane, the cap'en of her, away back in old Simsbury times. He was an Avon boy; and when I sighted that vessel's name, as I was crawlin' along the quay one day, and, seein' she was Connecticut-built, boarded her, and see Seth, I was old fool enough to cry right out, I was so shaky.
