"Dat debbel Bill Moody, an' all him gang in port watch, say dey is goin' murder capting and go way in long-boat, and leab us drown on board!" "But won't the other men prevent them?" asked Kate anxiously. "Dey can't, missy! Dey is down in main-hold; an' Moody shut um under hatchway so dat dey can't get up."
Missus said to me: "'Sorrow, sais she, 'I shall starve here; dem military men know nuffin' but bout hosses, dogs, and wine; but dey ain't delicate no way in dere tastes, and yet to hear 'em talk you'd be most afeered to offer 'em anyting, you'd tink dey was de debbel and all." "Did she use those words, Sorrow?"
The scouts continued their pursuit for upwards of an hour, but finding it fruitless, returned to the place where they had left their canoe, having first secured the scalp and spoils of the fallen man." "Dam him, debbel," exclaimed Sambo, who as well as the officers, had approached the party detailing their exploit, and had fixed his dark eye on the dangling trophy.
Already were his lips opened to swear, before high Heaven, that, in all things earthly, he would obey her will, when he was interrupted by a well known voice, hastily exclaiming: "Who a debbel dat dare?" Scarcely had these words been uttered, when they were followed apparently by a blow, then a bound, and then the falling of a human body upon the deck.
"Dat man-of-war, Massa Easy, what de debbel we do for colour? must hoist something." Mesty ran down below; he recollected that there was a very gay petticoat, which had been left by the old lady who was in the vessel when they captured her. It was of green silk, with yellow and blue flowers, but very faded, having probably been in the Don's family for a century.
"You'll get over it sooner than you think. How did the pail happen to turn over?" "Must have been de debbel, missus. I was kerryin' it just as keerful, when all at once it upsot." This explanation, though not very luminous to her visitor, appeared to excite a fierce spirit of resentment against the pail in the mind of little Pomp.
So upset was the lady of the house that she involuntarily called out, "You Isrul!" "Ma'am," came in a frightened voice from under the bed, then in whining tones, "I dun try to mek 'em hush up, but 'pears like Mass Debbel be on dey side, anyhow." Further concealment being impossible, I said, "Come, you have the chickens ready caught, I'll give you your own price for them."
"No debbel, sar my name, sar, Lillydew vat you please vant, sar? steward to young gentlemen, sar. Will young massa have a lily-white bit soft tommy, sar, broil him a sodger, sar bumboat alongside, get a fresh herring for relish, sar." "Get me a little fresh air take me upstairs." "O Gemminnie! hi! hi! hi! young gentleman, Massa Johnny Newcome. This way, sar."
The scouts continued their pursuit for upwards of an hour, but finding it fruitless, returned to the place where they had left their canoe, having first secured the scalp and spoils of the fallen man." "Dam him, debbel," exclaimed Sambo, who as well as the officers, had approached the party detailing their exploit, and had fixed his dark eye on the dangling trophy.
No external wound was visible, and yet his breathing was that of one who had received some severe bodily harm. In a few minutes, however, he recovered his recollection, and the words he uttered, as he gazed wildly around, and addressed his master, were sufficient to explain the whole affair: "Damn him debbel, Massa Geral, he get safe off, him billain." "Ha, Desborough! it is then so?
