Twenty years have not made much change either in his face or figure. His voice is just the same as it was when I was the coast-guard, Pepe the Sleeper. My eyes and ears are as good as they were then, and I assure you, Bois-Rose, that he's the very man." "After all, one is more likely to meet an enemy he is in search of than a friend. It may be the same."
“She got married and left the place, sir, but before she went she told me that it was very wrong to have anything to do with smugglers. So I decided to give it up, and that set the whole village against me, and I should probably have been killed if I had not taken refuge in the coast-guard station.
The coast-guard looked neither to one side nor the other, but ran on at the pace of one who had run far and knows that he cannot afford to lose his breath; for his night's work was only begun. The coast-guard station stands on the left-hand side of the street, a long, low house in a bare garden.
"If you please, sir," one of the coast-guard men said, touching his hat, "I don't see any signs of our officer. Have you seen him?" "No," Ralph said. "Perhaps he is still in that passage. You had better run up to the top and see." Two minutes later the man returned: "He's down there, sir; but he says he can't get up or down." "You had better run down to the boat at once," Ralph said.
The commander of the coast-guard turned abruptly from his long indignant stride, and entered the cottage provided for him, and which he had peopled so speedily. Small as it was, it looked beautifully clean and neat, and everybody used to wonder how Mrs. Carroway kept it so.
But up to this hour Pepe knew not that his trapping comrade was the gigantic smuggler he had fired at from the beach of Ensenada; and Bois-Rose was equally ignorant that Pepe was the coast-guard whose "obstinacy and clumsiness" he had spoken of to his lieutenant.
We may not want them, for I hope the coast-guard men will be up to the spot in time to help, should the craft unfortunately come ashore, but it is just as well to be prepared to render assistance in case of need." Tom, handing the lantern to the boy, hurried back to execute the orders he had received, the lieutenant and his young companion following at a slower pace.
It was restored by the same Earl of Eldon who built the Kingston church, and is looked after by the neighbouring coast-guard. The interior is lit by one solitary window in the thick wall and in the centre is a single massive column.
He made no hasty offer to assist, for he was a cool youth even while burning with impatient enthusiasm and saw at a glance that the men of the Coast-Guard were well able to manage their own affairs and required no aid from him.
The panting voice belonged to Sam Udy son of old Bill Udy a labourer at Tresedder. "I'll go at once," said Mr. Raymond. "Run you for the coast-guard!" The oilskins went by the window; the side gate clashed to. "Is it a wreck?" cried Taffy. "May I go with you?" "Yes, there may be a message to run with."
