"Well, we shall see," said Will; "at all events I intend to make the most of my opportunities and, talking of that, Captain Dall, as I see that Mr Cupples is lagging behind, a word in your ear I'll tell you a secret."
On board ship, after giving that same man some trouble, Dall poured him out a glass of wine, when we were having our dinner, whereupon the captain looked at her with utter amazement, and I thought some little contempt, and said, "Ah! one can tell by that that you are not an American;" which sort of thing makes one feel rather glad that one is not.
My friend here, Captain Dall, will see that you are regularly paid. I assure you that I shall never forget the obligation." "Follow me," said Mr Zulino, rising and putting on his hat.
Seeing that they were about to be separated, Captain Dall suddenly called out, "Farewell, lads," in a tone so sad, that Goff looked back at him in surprise, but his captors forced him away before he could reply. "You think we won't see them again?" said Osten, when they were left alone. "I think not.
My father looked cadaverous, Dall was portentously silent, I shut my eyes and tried to sleep, being in that state when to see, or hear, or speak, or be spoken to, is equally fatal. At length we reached the foot of the breakwater, and I sprang out of the boat, too happy to touch the stable rock.
"We must rig up something to prevent that happening again," said Captain Dall; "set to work, Goff, and cut a slice out of the tarpaulin, and nail it over the bows."
Dall, an American lady, has taken up this subject, and has written a book on it, in which great good sense and honesty of purpose is shown. Mrs. Dall is a strong advocate for the increased employment of women, and I, with great deference, disagree with her.
The sight that met his gaze was indeed well calculated to strike him dumb, for there, in a circle on the floor, with the remains of a roast of beef in the centre red-shirted, long-booted, uncombed, and deeply bronzed sat six old comrades, whom they had not seen for such a length of time that they had almost forgotten their existence namely, Captain Dall, long David Cupples, old Peter, Captain Blathers, Muggins, and Buckawanga!
"No, no, my fine young fellow," said Griffin, thrusting him back, "we want your help as a doctor a little longer. It may be that you are not inclined to serve us, but we can find a way of compelling you if you're not. Come, Mr Dall, be good enough to go next."
Captain Dall fortunately knew the method of cooking it in an oven, for the uncooked fruit is not eatable. The milk of the young cocoa-nuts was what the facetious Irishman referred to under the name of ginger-beer; but his remark about boiling pots was literally correct.
