On passing the News office he had to jump over the old coal stove that stood there, and while he was in the air, six feet from the sidewalk, a sky rocket stick passed through his coat tail and pinned him to the building, where he hung suspended, while other rocket sticks were striking all around him, Roman candle colored balls were falling on his unprotected head, etc., and one of these nigger chasers, that run all over the ground, climbed up the side of the building and tried to get in his pants pocket.
At that moment, with better fortune than two such wild-goose chasers deserved, they saw the lamps of a carriage flash across Twenty-eighth Street, going up Lexington Avenue. "By George! there they are!" said the sanguine Leslie. "Maybe so!" was the reply of Harding, echoing the words his friend had used the moment before.
We were now right across his stern, with his spanker boom within ten yards of us; and although he worked his two stem chasers with great determination, and poured whole showers of musketry from his rigging, and poop, and cabin windows, yet, from the cleverness with which our sweeps were pulled, and the accuracy with which we were kept in our position, right athwart his stern, our fire, both from the cannon and musketry, the former loaded with round and grape, was telling, I could see, with fearful effect.
Every man aboard would have followed him but for his sharp command to some of them to remain on deck with Hagthorpe. In the ward-room the three stern chasers were in position, loaded, their muzzles thrusting through the open ports, precisely as the Spanish gunners had left them.
There isn't room for hammocks on one of these chasers. Why, even the officer commanding has to sleep on a hammock slung out over the stern in pleasant weather." "Good-night!" gasped Al Torrance. "Where does he sleep when it isn't pleasant?" "He doesn't sleep at all or anybody else, as you'll probably find out to-night, garby," was the reply.
In November 1759, a meeting was held at the Turk's Head, Gerard Street, Soho, which seems to have been a sort of house of call for artists, as well as for literary men, when it was resolved that once in every year, at a place to be appointed by a committee, chosen annually, for carrying the design into execution, there should be held an exhibition of the performances of painters, sculptors, architects, engravers, chasers, seal-cutters, and medallists, the profits to be expended in charity 'towards the support of those artists whose age and infirmities, or other lawful hindrances, prevent them from being any longer candidates for fame; the charge for admittance to be one shilling each person.
As the evenings grew colder, the camp chairs on the mesa were deserted, and the chattering "chasers" gathered indoors, sometimes in one or another of the airy tent cottages, sometimes before the cheerful blaze of the logs in the fireplace of the parlors, but oftenest of all they flocked into Number Six of McCormick Building, where David was confined to his cot.
She grew up and run away like the rest of her women folks " she giggled sardonically, "Was a young limb, she was, I used to hear her whistling at them choir boys next door a young limb all the girls in that family was man- chasers the mother run off with the rector's son younger'n she was by a good two years I should say, she must ha' been thirty if she was a minute but pretty prettier n' her mother ever see the mother, Miss Trenton Miss Montrose that was?"
How well she carries her maintop-gallant sail! What a neat counter, and how well formed between the yardarms! I’ll heave ahead and have a look at her bow chasers, head rails, and cut heads, for I think I have seen her before somewhere. You,” said he to me, “can take the one on the starboard hand.” He then let go my arm and shot ahead.
