It cost us a week, but for my part I didn't grudge it. Your cliffs and deep-water harbours don't appeal to me. Give me a canal with windmills and summer-houses where you can look in on the families drinking tea as you sail by; give me, above all, a canal on Sundays, when the folks walk along the towing-path in their best clothes, and you feel as if you were going to church with them."
The apparatus you saw is something in the nature of an inverted telescope, with various extraordinary lenses treated by a new process. You can see forty feet down under the surface of the water for a distance of a mile, and we believe that attached to the same apparatus is an instrument which brings any moving object within the range of what they call a deep-water gun."
It rose to five million tons early in this century and makes the United States still one of the foremost maritime powers in respect to salt-water activity. To speak of this deep-water shipping as trade coastwise is misleading, in a way.
"Moreover, yet again, as she is now without a captain, Eli Drew having gone into deep-water navigation, I propose to offer the command of the Nancy Bell to Captain Bill May, as his ship won't be ready for some months yet. "And, moreover, for the third time, I further propose to invite Mr.
"I'm at home here, that's a fact," said Jethro. "I know the tides and the buoys. I can find my way in the dark, where another man would be at a total loss. I'm never suffering for landmarks." "Landmarks!" roared Deep-water Peter. "What's a landmark good for but to take a new departure?"
Venner called his sailing master, and together they examined the chart. It showed a sand-bar stretching off the point, a deep-water channel, narrow but accessible, close to. "You can work into that anchorage?" asked Venner. "Yes, sir, if the air don't die away altogether. It seems good ground by the chart." "Then carry the schooner in and bring up.
As deep-water men on shore are invariably drunk, drugged, or penniless, the boarding-masters, to whom the skippers must apply for men, easily control the situation.
"I've no use for a fourth boat at all; but a boat of this model tops the business. I don't say the type's not common in these waters; it's as common as dirt; the traders carry them for surf-boats. But the Flying Scud? a deep-water tramp, who was lime-juicing around between big ports, Calcutta and Rangoon and 'Frisco and the Canton River? No, I don't see it."
You're a denying sort of a crab, and no mistake. Always seeing how fast you can crawl backward out of pleasure." "I mistrust women." "You cleave to the spirit and turn from the flesh, that I know. But here's a woman with a voice to waken the dead." "That's the voice on the seaward side of Meteor," answered Rackby. "Cad Sills is flesh and blood of the Old Roke, I'm agreed," said Deep-water Peter.
Then came that state of tenderness in the heart, overlying wrath in the stomach, in which the eyes grow moist like a woman's, and there is also a great boiling-up of objectionable terms out of the deep-water vocabulary, so that Prudence and Propriety and all the other pious Ps have to jump upon the lid of speech to keep them from boiling over into fierce articulation.
