We saw, at once, how the thing was to be done, and also the necessity of keeping the boat stern out to the sea; for the instant the sea should strike upon her broadside or quarter, she would be driven up broadside on, and capsized.
What an exasperating game this is! one cannot tell what is going to happen in the next half or even quarter of an hour. At one moment everything looks flourishing, the next one begins to doubt if it is possible to get through. New Fish. Just at the end of the open lead to-night we capsized a small floe and thereby jerked a fish out on top of another one.
That's my d d luck, and yours too, I suppose." "I reckon you're right there," said Patterson gloomily. "But I thought you got clean away, went off in a ship" "Went off in a boat to a ship," interrupted Tucker savagely; "went off to a ship that had all my things on board everything. The cursed boat capsized in a squall just off the Heads.
The shock was so severe that the boat was nearly capsized, and six of the Indians were knocked into the sea and drowned. Captain Gallop immediately stood off and prepared for another similar broadside. In the mean time, he lashed the anchor to the bows of the vessel in such a way that the fluke should pierce the side of the boat, and serve as a grappling iron.
Davenant made their way along the rock, and joined the officer just as he leapt ashore. The boat came alongside on the top of the wave, and as this sank it grazed the rock and capsized, but Walter and Larry grasped the hands stretched out to them, and were hauled on to the rock, while the next wave dashed the curragh in fragments on the beach.
"You bet there were!" answered Toby. "Twenty-three altogether; one boat capsized; Kelly, 'Bug' Kelly, son of that fellow that runs the Crystal Grotto, he was drowned, and one of Hocheimer's Hocheimer, the jeweller, you know one of his travelling salesmen was drowned; a little Jew named Brann, a diamond expert; he jumped overboard and " "Don't!" said Vandover with a sharp gesture.
They ran down to the beach to where the canoe, a long, narrow affair with curious outriders, awaited them. "The last boat that went out capsized," cried Bobby, gleefully taking her place behind the second Kanaka. "The men were in the water five minutes, but the sharks didn't happen to notice them." "Sharks!" exclaimed Percival in consternation.
"Of course it was an accident," spoke up the ARLA'S mate, Jacobs, a slender, dark-eyed man who looked more a professor than a sailor. "Johnny Bedip nearly had the same kind of accident. He was bringing back several from a flogging, when they capsized him. But he knew how to swim as well as they, and two of them were drowned. He used a boat stretcher and a revolver. Of course it was an accident."
He handed the cigarette to the man who accepted it and stood gesticulating, trying to light it and mumbling unsteadily till he veered off and capsized in a heap, spluttering and muttering in the gutter. I said, "You have been taking a lesson for your next drunken man." "Of course I have," he replied.
A white man came down from the boat, and sat in the bow of Sorova's canoe, but presently stood up and capsized both canoes, catching at Sorova's belt, which broke, and the poor fellow was thus enabled to get away, and shelter himself under the stern of the canoe, till he could strike out for land; but he saw a boat come round from the other side of the ship, with four men whether whites or light- coloured islanders was not clear but they proceeded to beat his companions with oars, then to fall on them with tomahawks, and finally cut off their heads, which were taken on board, and their bodies thrown to the sharks.
