The stranger caught sight of it at the same moment that Hite lifted his hand toward it. "Thar it is!" Hite exclaimed, "fur all the Cove's a shadder, an' fur all the wind's a breath." For clouds had thickened over the sky, and much of the world was gray beneath, and the scene had dulled in tint and spirit since last they had had some large outlook upon it.
Remarkably strange cove, Omega remarkably strange." "Why? How? And what's the matter with the cove's second daughter, anyway?" "Well," said Alpha, "it's all of a piece him and his second daughter and the rest of the family. Funny case. It ought to interest you. Omega's got a mania." "What mania?" "Not too easy to describe. Call it the precaution mania." "The precaution mania? What's that?"
Another lantern swung from the mainmast, and yet another from the poop-rail for the Basha's convenience. Overhead the clustering stars glittered in a cloudless sky of deepest purple. The wind had fallen entirely, and the world was wrapped in stillness broken only by the faint rustling break of waves upon the beach at the cove's end.
The rag-merchant's voice sank at once, and with the countenance of a wronged Cassius he whimpered forth, "Knock me down? O leetle Paul, vot wicked vhids are those! Vot! Dummie Dunnaker, as has dandled you on his knee mony's a time and oft! Vy, the cove's 'art is as 'ard as junk, and as proud as a gardener's dog vith a nosegay tied to his tail." This pathetic remonstrance softened Paul's anger.
'Upon my soul I will, Miss, returned the Grinder. 'I have come through a good deal, and my intentions is now as straightfor'ard, Miss, as a cove's 'I must get you to break yourself of that word, Robin, if you Please, interposed Miss Tox, politely. 'If you please, Miss, as a chap's 'Thankee, Robin, no, returned Miss Tox, 'I should prefer individual. 'As a indiwiddle's, said the Grinder.
"If we retreat inland, we shall lose the boat even if we save ourselves." "Sartain, we'd lose her, and I don't think thar's need to. Let me hev another look through yer glass, capting." A hasty glance enables him to make a rough estimate of the distance between the cove's mouth and the approaching canoes. "I guess we kin do it," he says, with a satisfied air. "Do what?"
He's a nice young man to keep a cove's spirits up, and talk about 'a short life and a merry one. Here comes the heavy. Hand it here to take the taste of that fellow's talk out of my mouth." "Well, my young'un," recommenced my tormentor, "and how do you like your company?" "Leave the boy alone," growled Crossthwaite; "don't you see he's crying?" "Is that anything good to eat?
Black Jarge'll batter this 'ere cove's 'ead soft, so sure as I were baptized Richard 'e'll lift this cove up in 'is great, strong arms, an' 'e'll throw this cove down, an' 'e'll gore 'im, an' stamp 'im down under 'is feet, an' this cove's blood'll go soakin' an' a-soakin' into the grass, some'eres beneath some 'edge, or in some quiet corner o' the woods and the birds'll perch on this cove's breast, an' flutter their wings in this cove's face, 'cause they'll know as this cove can never do nobody no 'urt no wore; ah! there'll be blood gallons of it!"
The one drifted, the other was still; the one sparkled, the other shone: for the rest there was no distinction, no dividing line. Each ran into the other; and all was splendid with light and life. Below, those dark dead men still scavenged on the edge of the tide. He could have dropped a pebble on them. Dingy Joe's whine floated up to him.... "This cove's rings won't come off."
They skidded the Bluebird out on the beach at the Cove's head and overhauled her inside and out, hull and machinery. That brought them well into April. The new carrier was complete from truck to keelson. She had been awaiting only MacRae's pleasure for her maiden sea-dip. So now, with the Bluebird sleeked with new paint, he went down for the launching. There was a little ceremony over that.
