An interval of silence followed. One thing, however, struck me in talking to me the blind boy spoke in the Little Russian dialect, but now he was expressing himself in pure Russian. "You see, I am right!" the blind boy went on, clapping his hands. "Yanko is not afraid of sea, nor winds, nor mist, nor coastguards! Just listen!
As for me, I reckon I've done the best thing, for I druv' over at once to the coastguards down yonder, and told 'em to keep a look out at the mouth o' the river. I ain't been back long, and was just takin' a nap when you found me, as I hadn't the 'art to go to bed." Having arranged with him to send the good news to all concerned, especially to the Hall, where old Mr.
At high tide the sea comes half-way up the steep opening between the coastguards' quarters and the inn which is built on another bastion, and in rough weather the waves break hungrily on to the strong stone walls, for the bay is entirely open to the full force of gales from the east or north-east.
He walked towards me slowly, almost carelessly; but I saw that he was puzzled by my distress, and wondered what the matter was. "What is it?" he asked. "What's the rally for?" "Oh," I cried, "the coastguards over at Black Pool." "Yes," he said carelessly, "what about them?" "They've discovered it," I cried. "The cave under the cliff-top. They've discovered it."
I think it's a piece of open coast with biggish cliffs, somewhere between the Wash and the Channel. Also it's a place where full tide is at 10.17 tomorrow night. Then an idea struck me. 'Is there no Inspector of Coastguards or some fellow like that who knows the East Coast? Whittaker said there was, and that he lived in Clapham.

"Oh, yes, go to sleep if you like; but I've got an idea, and if you'd rather be out of it I'll have Alice instead." "Fire away!" said Dicky, now full of attention, and leaning on his elbow.
John Jameson, who was present along with Mr. Arundel, the business manager of the great J.J. concern, then expressed his fears anent the practicability of Customs' collections on the Irish coast. He said, "We have 1,300 coastguards at present, and this force is ample when backed by the Royal Irish Constabulary, marching and patrolling in the interior.
I think Dora was going to say, "Old chap but I thought he was young with blue eyes?" but just at that minute a coastguard came along and ordered us quite harshly not to lean on the boat. He was quite disagreeable about it how different from our own coastguards! He was from a different station to theirs. The old man got off very slowly.
