But one day, as they lay becalmed south of the line, a jolly foretopman came on the quarter-deck with a fid of soup, and saluting and scraping, first to the deck, then to the captain, asked him if he would taste that. "Yes, my man. Smoked!" "Like and blazes, your honour, axing your pardon, and the deck's." "Young gentleman," said Dodd to Mr.
"We shall go up in the air, like a balloon!" one of the sailors, with a twang of horror in his voice, exclaimed. "Ay, or swamped!" a second suggested, loudly, with dreadful determination. "Ay, ay; and the deck's as good as stove in!" growled a third nautical son of a Shuhite.
After the interview with her, he had carried the treasure-chest to the road. He had sent the two privates to the left; and as Sergeant Fronklyn galloped off to hurry up the platoon, they rode down the road, and halted in front of him. One of these soldiers was Deck's cousin, Alick Lyon. "Have you seen or heard anything crooked, Lyon?" asked the chief scout.
At eight o'clock, eight bells are struck, the log is hove, the watch set, the wheel relieved, the galley shut up, and the other watch goes below. The morning commences with the watch on deck's "turning-to" at day-break and washing down, scrubbing, and swabbing the decks. At eight, the day's work begins, and lasts until sun-down, with the exception of an hour for dinner.
Did you think I was in love with her?" "Why," stammered Dunham, "I supposed I thought At Messina, you know " "Oh!" Staniford walked the deck's length away. "Well, Dunham," he said, as he came back, "you've spoilt a pretty scene with your rot about Mrs. Rivers. I was going to be romantic!
"If things wasn't just as they are, missus," said one, "we'd give it a cheer; asking your pardon and the deck's for speaking when I wasn't spoke to." "But our guns will cheer it in the morning, and they will make more noise than we could," observed another. "Likewise asking pardon for speaking."
Deck's ideas of discipline were of the severe order, and it was against his principles to call for volunteers for any ordinary service, though proper enough for that of a desperate nature; for it was his opinion that soldiers should obey orders without any question, and he was on the point of countermanding the call, when every one of the riflemen rushed over to the side indicated.
The Happy Family laughed feeble acquiescence. "I won't need to," Weary told them blandly. "You all gave the schoolma'am leave to put down your names, and its up to you to make good. If yuh haven't got nerve enough to stay in the game till the deck's shuffled yuh hadn't any right to buy a stack uh chips." "Yeah that's right," Cal Emmett admitted frankly, because shyness and Cal were strangers.
Deck, over the shoulder of the rancher, saw Jefferson Worth and the surveyor, who with several others had drawn near, attracted by the loud tones of the farmer. Abe thought that he caught a look of recognition as Deck's eyes fell on his companion but the banker gave no sign.
He wants Bob out o' the way, so he won't be on hand to draw cards, an' then this Carey person 'll just reach out his soft little mitt and rake in the jack-pot. All right, T. Morgan Carey! Bob's out of it, but even if he is a crook I'll string a bet with him, for Donnie's sake, an' I'll deal you a brace game an' you'll never know that the deck's been sanded."
