And so it happened that Captain Higgles recognized Bobby and Jimmy, and they recognized him. "Oh," explained Bobby, "we were getting ice off a berg yesterday, when she shifted and turned us over and we lost our oars." "Yesterday, was it? And so you young scallawags ha' been cruisin' about since yesterday, eh, with nary an oar. Now listen t' that, b'ys! Cruisin' around with nary an oar! My eyes!
"I know ye been talkin' 'bout cruisin' around to see your folks, or the like for the longest spell. But I didn't s'pose ye re'lly meant it. And your brother comin', too! Well!" "If he can tell of his adventures as well as you relate them," laughed Lawford, "Cap'n Amazon should be an addition to the Cardhaven social whirl."
I bettah say right yere en now I've got my orders 'bout that nigger Chunk. Nobody kin save 'im ef caught. You've been followed before in your night- cruisin' en you're lookin' fer some one. Ef there's trouble, Miss Baron kyant say I didn't give warnin'. Now that the sogers is gone I'm held 'sponsible fer what goes on," and he stalked away.
"All right, I won't ask I'll tell. That young feller from out West, the feller with the uncommon name Brown Jones Oh, no, Smith, that was it he came cruisin' around here and " "Uncle Shad, how did you know?" "A little bird told me. A long-legged bird without much hair on top a bald-headed eagle, I cal'late he must be. Hops round our kitchen daytimes and roosts in the attic nights." "Isaiah!
"I'd intended takin' it down this mornin'." Captain Sam put back his head and laughed until the shop echoed. "Ho, ho, ho!" he roared. "And you mean to tell me that you put it up there because you was goin' cruisin' to the aviation camp and you didn't want callers disturbin' Mrs. Armstrong?" His friend nodded. "Um-hm," he admitted.
I ain't seen or heard of him since 'till to-night, when I was cruisin' down there by the side of the river in the dark an' keepin' under cover of the bushes. Had no intention of shootin' anybody. Just wanted to take a look. I saw on the other side a dim figure walkin' up an' down, rifle on shoulder. Thought I noticed something familiar about it, an' the longer I watched the shorer I was.
"Keep on banking on me, Daddy dear," she whispered, "perhaps I'm not altogether hopeless, even yet." But her father, for once, refused to believe her. "I don't like it," he declared. "And other folks don't like it, either. Why, Barney Black got after me only the other day about you. He wanted to know why you you, an engaged girl was cruisin' around so much with this Cousin Percy of ours.
"Speakin' o' coots," firmly interposed Captain Dan Kirtland, "onct when I was cruisin' to Boston, I seen a lot o' coots hangin' up thar' in the market 't looked as though they'd been hangin' thar' ever senct before Adam cut his eye-teeth.
She plucked 'em too clost, and they was around fryin' in the sun scand'lous; but I don't surmise as she knew no better." "In course not. Ye know Miss Lester's boardin' some folks 't Gov'ment sent down t' inspect the lighthouse. It's a young man, an' he brought his wife, an' after he'd finished his job they liked it so well they're jest stayin' on, cruisin' 'round an' playin' tricks on each other.
"Well, I tell you, Zuby: it's close to nine now, and that's too late for you to be cruisin' out to meetin's. Sorry you have to miss the speeches and things, but Say, I tell you what I'll do. If it's a sermon you want I'll preach you one, myself. Make it up while you're settin' the table. Ready to come out and be good? That's right.
