Meanwhile, another fellow left the field less exultingly; for, after a thoroughly courageous share in the skirmish, he came blubbering to his captain, and said, "Cappen, make Caesar gib me my cane." It seemed that, during some interval of the fighting, he had helped himself to an armful of Rebel sugar-cane, such as they all delighted in chewing.
Leaning upon his musket, and with familiar gaze upon his irate superior, the culprit slowly drawled: "I don't mine bein' muddered by a high-tone Southern gentleman like you, Cappen, but dam if I'm gwyen to eternally disgrace my family by lettin' one of them low-down Yankees shoot me!"
One tousand prawns, all with two hondred men inside him, and the leetle prawns will come to land at your house, Sharley. Bootiful place, quiet sea, no bad rocks. You look out in the morning, and the white coast is made black with them. Now what do you say to that, Cappen Tugwell?"
Let me lift you; the place is all alight. I thought you was choked." "Choked! oh dear, no," replied the old woman, "but I've always heard that in a fire you should keep your face close to the ground for air Ah! gently, Cappen, dear!" While she was speaking, the Captain was getting her tucked under his strong right arm.
I meant smuggler Uggleston. He's got away, and it don't matter; we're bound to have a lot o' prize-money out of the cargo we're going to seize." "Are you going to seize it this morning?" I asked. "Yes, my lad; and here comes the skipper back along o' the old cappen."
"Wiccanish go on board big ship, see cappen." "And stole the spoons," murmured Charlie from under his hat. Fanny touched his foot with the stick of her parasol, for she stood in awe of this ancient historian, not wishing to be made a subject of his powerful "medicine." "And so you knew Captain Cook?"
"Mum's the word, Cappen." Gillie had been shorn of his blue tights and brass buttons, poor Mrs Stoutley having found it absolutely necessary, on her return home, to dismiss all her servants, dispose of all her belongings, and retire into the privacy of a poor lodging in a back street.
"`You're an impudent rascal, whoever you are, he reply, `but perhaps, for once in a way, you speak the truth. "`Do, cappen, just try me to-morrow, or next day, or when you get de materials to put in de pie, I say. "`I'll think about that, my man, he answer, licking him lips.
No one stop me, for dey all too busy or too sleepy to notice me. I take off my hat and make him a polite bow, and ask in English if he want a cabin-steward, as I ready to serve him. "And if you like sea-pie, cappen, I cook one such as nobody can beat, let me tell you dat," I say. "I head cook."
"Ay, ay, Cappen," replied the youth, taking up a thick cart-pin, or something of the sort, that lay near, and mounting guard. There was another laugh, from crowd and firemen, at the nautical brevity and promptitude of Gillie.
