The hammocks had been piped down, and they were obliged to bend double under them to get along the lower deck. I followed unperceived. The descent into the coal-hole was by battens, and not very easy for an old man like Mr C But Cross went down first, holding the light for the purser to follow, which he did very slowly, and with great caution.
O'Driscol thought, to the coal-hole, whether he fearlessly pursued him, but in vain. On examining the coal-hole, which Mr. O'Driscol did personally in the dark we really shudder at that gentleman's absence of all fear the ferocious Whiteboy could not be found in it. The presumption is that he gave Mr.
Andrew Zane paid her a visit the night the dead bodies were discovered in the river." "You are sure of this?" "Perfectly. I have had a detective on his track; too late to arrest the rascal, but the identity of a sailor man who penetrated into the house by the coal-hole is established by the discovery of the clothing he exchanged for that disguise it was Andrew Zane.
The first lieutenant had come out of the wardroom, and seeing me, he inquired what was the matter. I replied that Mr Culpepper had gone down into the coal-hole, and had seen Mr Dott's ghost. He laughed heartily, and went back.
No, his bragging usually seemed to be not so much a personal vainglory as about his family and the greatness of this city." "'Greatness of this city'!" Mr. Vertrees echoed, with dull bitterness.

When it was dark, I supplied Tommy with provisions, and he gained the coal-hole without being discovered.
In ships of war, the members of the "music," as the band is called, are generally non-combatants; and mostly ship, with the express understanding, that as soon as the vessel comes within long gun-shot of an enemy, they shall have the privilege of burrowing down in the cable-tiers, or sea coal-hole.

And most wonderful of all are words, and how they make friends one with another, being oft associated, until not even obituary notices them do part. On the second day following, the city editor halted at Vesey's desk where the reporter was writing the story of a man who had broken his leg by falling into a coal-hole Ames having failed to find a murder motive in it.
