'I cannot make out a word of his cursed brogue, said the Cumbrian justice; 'can you, neighbour eh?
Blodgett snorted angrily, but the others laughed at Bill silly old butt of the forecastle, daft about his little girl! and after speculating at length concerning the treasure that Blodgett had described so vaguely, fell at last into a hot argument about how far a skipper could disobey the orders of his owners without committing piracy.
Norvin felt some relief at this intelligence, reflecting that Margherita would hardly draw her aunt into an enterprise which promised to be dangerous. As he considered the matter further he began to doubt the truth of Aliandro's story, for the old fellow seemed half daft.

Oh, ye ken, Jean, an Ennglishman and a lorrd, twa daft things thegither, he could na' miss the road. Coont them, lassie." "Come away, Sandy, till I count them till ye," said Jean. Saunders and Jean disappeared. Business being out of sight, curiosity revived. "An' what brings ye here from London, if ye please?" recommenced the fair inquisitor.

Bill had not only cast doubts upon his religious sincerity, which the little man could not endure, but he had also held him up to the ridicule of the community, which was painful to his pride.
Iron is daily being put to more and more varied uses. On land the great question is what will prevent rust; on water, what will prevent rust and fouling of bottoms of iron vessels.
