"But, not for long!" "You're right, my man," said the Captain, after having a good squint at the object of their commiseration. "She has been working already on the shingle, and her frame has been a good deal knocked about since last night." The coastguardsman gave a shrug to his shoulders. "I expect a tide or two'll settle her hash, sir," he observed, after thus relieving his pent-up feelings.
The coastguardsman had to shoulder the hamper when packed, as well as carry the empty water-jar; for, both Bob and Dick, whose respective burdens these had previously been, had rushed off soon after luncheon and when all interest in making a fire and boiling the kettle had ceased, down to the shore, where presently the truants were discovered.
Scarcely had this light appeared when the Coastguardsman laid his hand on the young sailor's shoulder and pointed towards the cliffs far away to the left of the bay. There a rocket had cut the heavens with a line of vivid fire. While they gazed, another sprang up into the sky. Will you go with me, or stay to see the lifeboat start?"
Jeff, still seated on the rock, became petrified. Recovering first, as women always do, Rose hurried forward with "I'm so glad, Mr ," but there she stopped abruptly, for the unexpected sight of that stalwart coastguardsman, reduced to a big skeleton with pale face, hollow cheeks, cavernous eyes, and an old-man stoop, was too much for her. She covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.
"Ah, Molly," said Tom, the Coastguardsman, stroking his bushy beard, "the same idea has been running in my head, as well as in Dick's, ever since we got that letter from Jim, telling us of the beauty of his new home, and urging us all to emigrate. I've more than half a mind to join him out there, if you and the old folk will consent to go."
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.
The coastguardsman, indeed, appeared as unconcerned throughout all the fuss as if he were safe ashore in his own little cabin on the beach; while Rover kept close beside him, as he had done since Hellyer took charge of the hamper which he had brought on board the dog evidently considering himself still responsible for all the picnic goods and chattels that his young mistress had told him to watch.
They take the tobacco, and the first coastguardsman ashore takes them, tobacco and all, before the magistrates, and I sometimes have been sent for to the 'lock-up, to find three or four misguided fellows in the grasp of the law of their country, which poverty and opportunity and temptation have led them to violate. At present a large number of galley punts lie on Deal beach.
