I mak sma' doubt the captain'll tak ye hame wi' him, syne the mither an' sisters still be i' the cot i' Mr. Craik's croft." "Tell me, MacMuir," said I, "is not the captain in some trouble?" For I knew that something, whatever it was, hung heavy on John Paul's mind as we drew nearer Scotland. At times his brow would cloud and he would fall silent in the midst of a jest.
When Time goes reaping he will gather us a sheaf, out of which the picture springs. 'There's our last lurch, glory to the breakwater! exclaimed Father Boyle, as the boat pitched finally outside the harbour fence, where a soft calm swell received them with the greeting of civilised sea-nymphs. 'The captain'll have a quieter passage across. You may spy him on the pier.
You know I can do it, don't you, Bert?" "Yes, I know you can do it. And I thought that you'd probably want to do it. That's why I disobeyed orders and told you. I wanted to give you the chance to volunteer." "I wonder if the Captain'll just laugh and say that I'm a raw recruit." "The Captain isn't that kind of man," answered Bert.
"No," I answered, "my boots don't want blacking. I grease them myself." "Please, sir," he said, "do let me take them away, sir." "No," I said. "I grease them myself, thank you." I thought that this would end the business; but no such matter. "Please, sir," he said, "I wish you would let me take them away. The captain'll wale me if I don't. He gave me orders, sir." "Don't call me 'sir," I said.
And so frightened and tender was Ragnhild that she threw her arms round me because I was kind to her. A strange girl! Then we went down to Nils. "Ragnhild thinks that somebody ought to keep awake for a bit," I said. "Yes," said Ragnhild. "Oh, it's so dreadful worse than ever it's been! Heaven knows what the Captain'll do! Perhaps he won't go to bed at all.
Jackson the mate here, I s'pose?" inquired the shipping-master. A nod answered him. "I've brought you a good crew," he continued; "we'll just tally 'em off, and then you can sign my receipt. The captain'll be down with the pilot this afternoon." "I'm the mate yes," said the giant; "but what dry-goods store did you raid for that crowd? Did the captain pick 'em out?"
"But I reckon that mean old captain'll ketch it if pappy ever sets eyes on to him," he added. "Lawr! now w'atever's the matter uv you, Cappy?" put in the woman again. "A body'd think you must 'a' been that very cap'n yer own self." The man turned fiercely upon the garrulous woman and seized her throat with his left hand, while he threatened her with a clenched fist and growled like a wild beast.
