"Well, Mr Dicey, you have at last got a sight of what the sea can be," said Roger Bolland, the boatswain, with whom Willy was a favourite. "I have got a feeling, too, of what it can do," answered Willy, who was far from comfortable.
Willy followed close at his heels, when the birds fearlessly commenced attacking them, snapping at their legs, seizing hold of their trousers, and showing their anger in every possible way. "I say, Dicey, we must put a stop to this," cried the doctor, beginning to jump about as the birds dug their beaks into his calves.
I will, however, send young Dicey, with his brother and sisters, and he will apply to the senior officer on the station, who will probably send a man-of-war, or some other vessel, as soon as one can be despatched." The question was put to the various members of the community, "Whether or not they would desire to remain." "Remain! to be sure I will," exclaimed Mrs Rumbelow, when she was asked.
The rights of the New York landlords were as good in law and morals as the rights of the Irish landlords, and their mode of asserting them far superior. Moreover, those who resisted them were not men of a different race, religion, or nationality, and had, as Mr. Dicey says, "none of the excuses that can be urged in extenuation of half-starved tenants."
Willy had the morning watch with Bill Windy. As the day broke, and the sun, rapidly rising above the horizon, shed its beams across the foaming sea, they lighted up the snowy summits of a range of mountains. "Land! land!" he shouted. "You are right, Mr Dicey; but I am afraid it's a long way from Auckland," observed Bill Windy. The deck was soon crowded with eager spectators.
But the delegates were determined to express the idea in some form; and this led to the words in the preamble of the British North America Act declaring 'a constitution similar in principle to that of the United Kingdom. To this writers of note have objected. Professor Dicey has complained of the 'official mendacity' involved in the statement.
The captain sincerely grieved for him, and felt his loss acutely. But Emma and May Dicey, perhaps more than any one else, had cause to mourn for their brother. Still her tongue would keep wagging, and they would frequently have been glad had she kept silence. "You see, my dear Emily, you and May have been deprived of your brother, and I know what it is to lose a person one loves.
"Really, Dicey, you are a brave fellow," said Jack Ivyleaf one day, while Charles was taking his usual walk on deck for exercise. "I cannot bring myself to go among those sick people as you do. It's all very well to go forward and amuse them when they are in health, and inclined to be jolly; but to go and sit in the hot, sweltering atmosphere between-decks is quite another thing."
Her face had blanched; its lines were as sharp and distinct as if graven in stone; only her eyes spoke, an eloquent anguish. Her faculties were numbed for a moment. But presently there was a quiver in her chin, and her voice rang out. And yet did she understand? did she realize the loss of the mine? For it was not this that she lamented "Birt Dicey!" she cried in an appalled tone.
"Water is what we most want, Dicey, and from what I know of human beings, I am afraid those on board her will not be willing to share that with us," observed the doctor gravely. "Thirst is the most trying of all the pains the human frame is compelled to endure; but we must not talk about it we will do our best to keep these poor women and children from suffering.
