"I wish we had a little more light to see what they're about." "We can't afford to wait," cried our friend Blackbeard, quickly throwing off his upper garments; "run me out, lads, on the whip. There won't be much risk if you're quick." "Risk!" exclaimed one of his comrades; "it will be certain death!" But the daring Coastguardsman had already seized the thin line and plunged into the boiling surf.
"I will," said he, seating himself with alacrity; and turning to the coastguardsman, he added "I suppose, Hellyer, you could pick a bit too, eh?" "Yes, sir, saving your presence.
I've just been wrecked, and rescued by the lifeboat through God's great mercy, 'long with all my crew; and there," he added, pointing to Jeff, "stands the man that saved my life." If Rose loved the young coastguardsman before, she absolutely idolised him now.
"No," he said, "let the men go first." So, one by one, the men were safely hauled on shore. "Now, captain, it's your turn at last," said our hero, approaching him. He still hesitated. Then the stout Coastguardsman absolutely lifted him into the lifebuoy. "No time for ceremony," he said, with a smile, giving the signal with his lantern, "the brig's going fast.
When our Coastguardsman with the black beard reached the scene, he found, as he had expected, that his comrades of the Coastguard had not been idle. They had brought down the famous rocket apparatus, with which so many lives are saved every year on our stormy shores. The wreck was in a very different position from that in the bay.
"If only you'd stand up and say them quietly, your pieces would go a lot better." "But I've got to convey the meaning to the ordience." "Give 'em credit for some intelligence. When the coastguardsman is going out to the wreck, it isn't necessary to wave your arms about like a windmill. You say he's swimming, and that's enough.
The fact is, my friend, you had run up if not in your wife, then in the coastguardsman Ned Commins against a pride as stubborn as your own. They wrote you a lie that's certain; and I'm as hard as most upon liars; but, considering all, I don't blame 'em. They weren't mercenary, anyway. They only wanted to have no more truck with you." "Have you seen the boy?" Again Miss Sally nodded.
"'Pends upon the tide, Missis, don't it?" one remarked with a grin broad enough to make the slyness written on it easy reading. "Ah! first a flow and then a ebb," said another. "It's many a keg I plant i' the mud, Coastguardsman, come! and I'll have your blood!"
A coastguardsman found his clothes, and brought them into Budmouth yesterday." Thereupon a strange fire lighted up Boldwood's eye, and his face flushed with the suppressed excitement of an unutterable thought. Everybody's glance was now centred upon him and the unconscious Bathsheba.
"Thankee, Molly not even as a medicine," said the captain, with a benignant look; "tea is better in the circumstances. I can speak from a vast amount of experience. But of course I speak only for myself. I don't know what Jeff's principles " "My principles," interrupted the coastguardsman, "are to leave every man to judge for himself.
