I had the first watch that night, when Swinburne, the quarter-master, came up to me, and asked me all the particulars of the affair, for he was not in the boats. "Well," said he, "that Mr Chucks appeared to be a very good boatswain in his way, if he could only have kept his rattan a little quiet. He was a smart fellow, and knew his duty.
Then Mister Hoss-Captain picks up the Afrikin, chucks him on a hoss and sends him a-kiting with his flea in his ear; after which he climbs his hoss and makes tracks hisself not to ketch up with the gals, ez you mought reckon, but off yon way," pointing across the creek and down the road to the southward.
The coxswain handed him the jacket, and Mr Chucks threw off his great coat to put it on; but when it was opened, it proved, that by mistake he had taken away the jacket, surmounted by two small epaulets, belonging to Captain Kearney, which the captain's steward, who had taken it out to brush, had also laid upon the same gun.
Mark my words, you burgoo-eating, pea-soup-swilling, trowsers-scrubbing son of a bitch!" Mr Chucks, having at the end of this oration raised his voice above the pitch required by the exigency of the service, was called to order by the first lieutenant, and again sank back into the stern-sheets with all the importance and authoritative show peculiarly appertaining to a pair of epaulets.
But now the old medicine man takes a blanket and throws it over this dead boy. He lifts up a corner of the blanket, chucks the boy's head under it, and pulls down the edges of the blanket and puts rocks on them. Then he begins to sing, and the whole bunch gets up and dances 'round the blanket.
The captain took my place, but without the knowledge of the father. After all, they neither had great reason to rejoice at the exchange." "How so, Mr Chucks what do you mean?" "Why, Mr Simple, the captain did not make an honest woman of her, as I would have done; and the father discovered what was going on, and one night the captain was brought on board run through the body.
Mr Falcon, the first lieutenant, went down to Captain Savage, to say we were on board, and he requested us to come into the cabin. He greeted us warmly, and gave us great credit for the manner in which we had effected our escape. When we left the cabin, I found Mr Chucks, the boatswain, waiting outside. "My dear Mr Simple, extend your flapper to me, for I'm delighted to see you.
"How do you mean were you wrecked, then?" Look, Mr Simple, do you see a small church, with a spire of glazed tiles, shining like a needle?" "Yes, I do." "Well, then, just above it, a little to the right, there is a long white house, with four small windows below the grove of orange-trees." "I see it," replied I; "but what about that house, Mr Chucks?"
And he never forgot to look up in the apple-trees to make sure that Sammy Jay was not there. Then he would call to Polly Chuck and the three baby Chucks. Polly Chuck would come out with a very worried air, and after her would come the three funny little baby Chucks, who would roll and tumble over each other on the doorstep.
We're gonna have to weld a false frame on the lathe we picked, an' then cut out the bed plate to let the gyros fit in between the chucks. Mount it so the spinning is in the right line." That would be with the axis of the rotors parallel to the axis of the earth. Joe nodded. "We'll be able to get set up in the mornin'," added Haney, "and get started.
