Bourhope had this in common with Chrissy: he could entertain himself. During the first three days of the week, Bourhope was zealous in looking at, and attaching himself to, Corrie.
"Oh! here he is, hurrah!" shouted Corrie, on catching sight of the prostrate form of the seaman. But the boy's manner changed the instant he observed the color of the man's face, from which all the blood had been driven, leaving it like a piece of brown leather. "He's dead," said Alice, wringing her hands in despair.
"O Corrie!" exclaimed the girl, submitting to the embrace with as much indifference as if she had been a lamp-post, "w'at troble you hab give me! Why you run so? sure you know me voice."
"Hurt him! hurt the Grampus!" cried Corrie, with a look of surprise, "you might as well talk of hurting a hippopotamus. Come, I'll try." Accordingly, Corrie tried. He began to bake the seaman, as it were, with his fists.
In a few minutes he was alongside of the Foam; caught a rope that was thrown to him, and quickly stood on the deck. "Well done, Corrie. Clamber over the stern, and slide down by that rope into the little boat that floats there. Take one of the oars, which you will find muffled, and scull to the shore and bring off Thorwald and his men. And, hark 'ee, boy, bring off my shirt and boots.
Corrie followed him, also on tiptoe, with the broken saber in his right hand, and the cocked pistol in his left, his forefinger being on the trigger, and the muzzle pointing straight at the small of the seaman's back, if one may be permitted to talk of such an enormous back having any "small" about it!
The result was, that with one short wild cry of renewed horror, Bumpus and Corrie turned sharp round and fled in the opposite direction.
I am," answered the pirate, and a gleam of kindliness crossed his face for a moment, but it was quickly chased away by a look of deep anxiety, and Corrie retired. Now that the danger of the night was over, all the people on board became anxious to save Henry or ascertain his fate; but although they searched the ocean far and wide, they saw not a vestige of him or of the Wasp.
"I've often had a sort o' desire, d'ye see, to try whether this bit of a limb or the one that's round Mrs Stuart's waist is the strongest. Now if you have any desire to settle this question, just try to shove this boat's head up into the wind that's all!" This was said so emphatically by the pugnacious Bumpus that his companions laughed, and Corrie cheered in admiration.
Stuart's waist is the strongest. Now, if you have any desire to settle this question, just try to put, to shove, this boat's head up into the wind that's all!" This was said so emphatically by the pugnacious Bumpus that his companions laughed, and Corrie cheered in admiration. "You see," observed Henry, "you need not give yourself any concern as to this point; you have no option in the matter."
