One day when all the fleet of fishing-boats was out for the herring fishery, and Kirwan among them, the fog came in closer and closer, and he was shut apart from all others. His companion in the boat or dory-mate, as it would be called in New England had gone to cut bait on board another boat, but Kirwan could manage the boat well enough alone.
Now, on top of those two gallons it was two o'clock in the morning, I mind, when I started to mix it whiskey, brandy, and sherry no, I can't tell what parts of each for that's the secret of it. A fellow was dory-mate with me once a Frenchman from Bordeaux told me and said never to tell, and I gave my oath down in St.
Somebody to work for somebody waiting for you a wife, Joe wife and children or you're in for some awful lonesome times." That was Clancy watch-mate, bunk-mate, dory-mate once, and now my skipper Clancy, who could be any man's friend, the man that everybody jumped to shake hands with, and yet never a bit of use to himself.
We can't chase them as far to the east'ard as the big banks a three hundred mile run to the nearest edge of it and tens of thousands of square miles to hunt over after we'd got there. And it would be child's work anyway to ask Maurice to leave her on the bank. Who'd take his place even if Dave would stand for it? 'Twould mean laying up a dory or taking his dory-mate too.
Admiringly, almost enviously, Percy watched the play of the banded muscles on his brawny forearms. He would have given anything to be as strong as his dory-mate. Past five o'clock, and still over two miles to the island. It was growing rougher every minute. The gale had fairly begun. It sheared the crests off the racing billows and flung them over the boat in showers of spray.
I found them both in the Anchorage, where Clancy had met a man he hadn't seen for ten years an old dory-mate thought he was lost five years before in the West Indies. "But here he is, fine and handsome. Another little touch all around and a cigar for Joe, and we're off for the Southern cruise." We left then and started for the dock, with Clancy full of poetry.
