'Who are you, sir? demanded our romantic acquaintance, with military sternness. 'I'll tell you who you are you're Oakley, as stops at the Hall, that Governor wrote, over-night, not to dare show your nose inside the grounds. You're a half-starved cappen, come down here to look for a wife, and
"A fire! hooray!" shouted Gillie, with glittering eyes and flushed countenance, "look out, Cappen, keep close 'longside o' me, under the lee o' the lamp-post. It's not a bad buffer, though never quite a sure one, bein' carried clean away sometimes by the wheels w'en there's a bad driver." As he spoke, the most intense excitement was manifested in the crowded thoroughfare.
I'se sooner be 'board Ouzel Galley when a hurricane blowing dan on board many a king's ship, when de cappen tink he berry wise an' carry on till de masts go ober de side." "Troth! an' ye're right there, Pompey, my jewel! We'll be afther running out of the harricane, and sorra the worse will we be." The confidence felt by the young master's two faithful followers was shared by most of the crew.
"Here they are, Cappen, all ready; fit to do dooty as a lookin'-glass to shave yerself," cried the "powder-monkey," leaping up and leaving the room abruptly. Gillie's opinion in regard to the madness of Lewis was shared by several of his friends above stairs.
Pretty soon Kasiascall come back: say McKay look dark and sad; say Indian buy plenty of knives and hide under their blankets; say I will see the ship taken by the Indians in one hour. My heart was sad for McKay. He good man. Indian like McKay heap. But my cousin and his people want plenty goods; no like Cappen Thorn; so Nittinat say nothing.
Better a'most to let 'em have it, than damage a drop or a thread of such goods." "All right, Cappen Brown. Don't you be so wonnerful unaisy. Not the first time we have handled such stuff." "I'm not so sure of that," replied Brown, as he lit a short pipe and began to puff. "I've a-run some afore, but never none so precious."
If I ain't mistaken, that pleasant fate awaits Lord what's-'is-name an' Mr Lumbard, for I heard the Cappen sayin', just afore I come to see you, that he was goin' to take his Lordship to the main truck of Mount Blang by way of the signal halliards, in preference to the regular road." "Are the young ladies going?" asked Susan.
White man ask questions!" this last contemptuously, at which Fanny laughed, as asking questions was one of her reserved rights. "You must be an old man, since these waters are named after you," suggested I. "Who was the first white man you remember seeing?" "Hyas tyee, Cappen Cook. Big ship big guns!" answered Nittinat, warming with the recollection.
A hansom-cab chanced to be in front of them as they dashed into the road, the driver smoking and cool as a cucumber, being used to such incidents. He held up a finger. "Quick, in with you, Cappen!" Gillie got behind his patron, and in attempting to expedite his movements with a push, almost sent him out at the other side.
Master Zebedee answered, with a puff of smoke. "We calls ourselves the universe, when we be the rope that drags astarn of it. Cappen, to my mind there is mischief in the wind, more than there hath been for these three years; and that's why you see me here, instead of going with the smacks. Holy Scripture saith a dream cometh from the Lord; leastways, to a man of sense, as hardly ever dreameth.
