She reminds me of one o' these down-east sugar-box crafts what trade to Cuba," he continued. Then walking across the main-hatch to the starboard side, he approached the men who were pumping, and after inquiring about freeing her, suddenly caught a glimpse of Manuel, as he lay upon the mattrass with his face uncovered. "Heavens!
Carrington had bought the sister yacht of the Sylvania, the Islander, which was to take part in the conspiracy against me, and in which the solicitor had followed the Sylvania to Florida. He had employed Captain Parker Boomsby, the down-east skipper, then settled in Michigan, to command her, and to assist in carrying out his plan.
Even then, he did not turn immediately toward her. "You needn't go, Kent," she said with some semblance of calm. "Because I'm going. I didn't tell you but I'm going home. I'm going to get free, by the same law that tied me to him. You are right I have a 'down-east' conscience. I think I was born with it. It demands that I get my freedom honestly; I can't steal it pal.
Graham continued just where she left off. "Annoys me exceedingly, by eternally tracing in me a resemblance to some down-east creature or other what is her name Sco Sco Scovandyke; yes, that's it Scovandyke. Of course it's not pleasant for me to be told every time I meet your mother " "Mr. Livingstone's mother," again interrupted the lady.
The prison officials would not allow us to have the "cold cash," lest we should enter into a combination and bribe an important guard, thereby effecting an escape. The "sheepskin" answered every other purpose for trade. We had a suttler who was a suttler right. He was a real, genuine, down-east Yankee.
The tall one echoed an equally casual chorus. "They don't teach no sort of manners to them down-East hobos, neither." De Launay stared impassively at the road in front of them. "You'd think some of them'd sense it that a gent has got a right to be private when he wants to be." "It's a of a town, nohow." "People even run around smellin' of liquor which is plumb illegal, Sucatash."
"Don't know whether you know it or not," he went on, "but about a month ago one of those d I beg your pardon, Miss MacDonald, Down-East scribblerettes, that come out to see the West from a Pullman car window and put things right, passed through here. Somebody got him and filled him up pretty full with a lot of lies about Wayland " "You mean Brydges gave him the facts?" asked Eleanor.
Not that I loved the critter for his own sake, but because all Greaserdom was out to down him. From what I hear, this Phoebe Dawes for all her pesky down-East stubbornness is teachin' pretty well, and anyhow she's one little woman against Tad Simpson and Heman Atkins and and Tad's special brand of Providence. She deserves a fair shake and, by the big dipper, she's goin' to have it!
His age was about forty. He had a wiry and terrier-like appearance. A "down-East" Yankee, he had spent some years in Mexico, and then drifted to South Africa during the war period, which, it will be remembered, lasted from 1877 to 1882. He had served in the Zulu war as a non-commissioned officer in one of the irregular cavalry corps, with some credit.
One was a down-east Yankee, as I believe they are called, and the other was a guzzling German. They were slave- drivers. To begin with, they bought their labour from Johnny Be-blowed, the most notorious recruiter in the Solomons. He is working out a ten years' sentence in Fiji now, for the wanton killing of a black boy.
