"Cut away cut away," was called out by those who held him; and, in a few seconds, Philip had the misery to behold the after part of the raft, with Amine upon it, drifted apart from the one on which he stood.

As soon as I could disengage myself I hunted up Jackson, the negro head-waiter and general house-man, who knows everything that happens at the club.

'I'm afeerd there's a orkard gen'l'm'n in 'em, Sir, replied Sam. 'Now, Winkle, cried Mr. Pickwick, quite unconscious that there was anything the matter. 'Come; the ladies are all anxiety.
