"Fishing from the dinghy, eh, Roberts?" he said, smiling. "Yes, sir, I thought I might catch a basket if I fished from the dinghy. I lose so many hauling them up the side into the chains." "To be sure yes of course," said the lieutenant. "On one condition, Roberts, you can have it." "What's that, sir?" "Two conditions, I should say," replied the lieutenant.
If she were even a dinghy with oars we could have ridden it out; but a box with holes is no good. Finlinson Sahib, she fills." "Accha! I am going away. Come thou also." In his mind, Findlayson had already escaped from the boat, and was circling high in air to find a rest for the sole of his foot.
All at once she noticed that between the boat's bow and the sand there lay a broad, blue, sparkling line. The dinghy was afloat. The woods here had been less affected by the cyclone than those upon the other side of the island, but there had been destruction enough.
Presently the dinghy put off from the reef, the sculls broke the starlit waters and great shaking circles of light made rhythmical answer to the slow and steady creak of the thole pins against the leather. He tied up to the aoa, saw that the sculls were safely shipped; then, breathing heavily, he cast off his boots for fear of waking the "childer."
Hunt high or hunt low, it could not be found. Mr Button in his hurry must have forgotten it when he removed the things to the dinghy at all events, it was gone. Probably one of the crew of the whalemen had found it and carried it off with him; no one could say. It was gone, and there was the end of the matter, and the beginning of great tribulation, that lasted Emmeline for a week.
We must have been swimming twenty minutes when Bigley uttered a shout, and looking up, Bob and I for the first time caught sight of a little dinghy coming towards us, and far beyond it the lugger lying with her sails flapping in the breeze.
The idea of the futility and wickedness of luxury desolated the guests and made them austere, and yet even in that moment they speculated upon what goods they might take with them. And why the dinghy, though it was a dinghy of large size? Why not the launch?
'Go on, said Davies to me in English. I stepped into the dinghy and motioned to take the sculls from her. She seemed not to see me, and pushed off while Davies handed down her jacket, which she had left in the cabin. Neither of us tried to better the situation by conventional apologies.
Sometimes I work on dinghy. Two or three times I dibe not much dibe. I carn stand that work. Not strong for that so heavy work. One morning Boss he set me on to clean out dinghy. Too much rotten fish. You see, when diber bring shell up, Boss he open ebery one chuck meat along dinghy. That dinghy, I tell you my yarn proper close up half full stinking meat.
Merritt's first hope when he saw the two persons in the boat namely, that one of them might be the missing boy was promptly dashed, and he instinctively guessed by Rob's silence as he dropped the anchor and he and the captain tumbled into the dinghy that there had been no news. "No," said Rob, shaking his head dejectedly as they reached the shore, "there isn't anything to tell.
