I knew the Yankee and the dagos were bargaining. Finally Tugg sang out to Pedro to belay the work he and the crew were engaged in, and to lower a boat again. The captain was rowed to the tug and after some further conversation I saw certain moneys counted out and paid over to the master of the Sea Spell. He was then rowed back and when he was aboard he ordered the dead whale cast off.
He frequently declared that England was the finest country in the world, sir, and he felt a lively superiority over Americans, Colonials, Dagos, Dutchmen, and Kanakas. But I do not think he was a happy man. He suffered from dyspepsia, and he might often be seen sucking a tablet of pepsin; in the morning his appetite was poor; but this affliction alone would hardly have impaired his spirits.
You'll be glad to know that Murphy's babies are fine and dandy; and those Dagos you know, the ones in the sixth floor front in Sadie's house faith, the wife come home from the hospital last night looking just grand." "And say, Mrs. Hamilton," Sadie interrupted enthusiastically, again forgetful of niceties in diction by reason of her excess of feeling, "maybe you ain't in strong with that bunch!
Muldoon, one noon, when Mike came for his lunch, "I know th' opinion ye have of Dagos, and niver a-one have I took into me house, and I think the same of thim meself dirthy things, an' takin' the bread away from th' honest Amercan laborin' man and I would not be thinkin' of takin' one t' board at this day, but would ye tell me this: is a Frinchmin a Dago?"
"You ain't joshin' me?" he asked. Billy Byrne caught the tremor in the voice. "I ain't kiddin' you son," he said. "Wotinell do you take me fer one o' these greasy Dagos? You an' I're Americans I wouldn't string a home guy down here in this here Godforsaken neck o' the woods."
Held so tight we could hardly get it out. In fact it was so tight that he's cut his palm grabbin' hold of it. Maybe the fight was about who owned the watch, for the Dagos talked in their foreign lingo and none of the neighbors could tell what they were sayin'." "I see. And the watch? Have you it?" "Yes, it's here. Going yet, too. Hear it tick?" and Donovan held open the door of his closet.
The street in front is lined on both sides with dagos with peanut-stands, selling peanuts to the population as fast as they can pass 'em out; and there's a long line, mainly kids, at the box-office. I goes on in and takes a flash at the front of the house through the peephole in the curtain, and the place is already jam full.
"Then, if you send no word, I'll pull out for Havana and get the engines properly fixed. Better take this bag of Spanish money; minted silver goes and you may find the dagos shy of the president's notes." Kit took the money, a boat was swung out, and four sailors carried the plain, flag-wrapped coffin down the ladder. They were rough men, but Kit imagined he could trust them.
"Finlay has his fires banked and can get steam to take us out in an hour or two." Kit went with him to his room and sat down limply. He was covered with dust and wet with dew; his face was haggard and his eyes were dull. "I'll tell you about my adventures later," he said. "What about the cargo?" "Some dagos came along with a mule train and loaded up part of the truck on the beach.
"We've had a great day, sure. Quite a few of the Dagos had knives, and Jernyngham had a sword. Guess he'd be in trouble now, only it wasn't one you could cut with." "How did he get the sword?" "It was King Billy's," explained another man. "Fellow who was acting him got knocked out with a bottle in his eye.
