You couldn't do it. You'll only be drownded yourself. My Lord!" he moaned, wringing his hands, "what 'll Pashy do?" "Catch a-holt now," commanded Captain Eri. "Down to the shore with her! Now!" They dragged the dory to the water's edge with one rush. Then Eri hurriedly thrust in the tholepins. Perez protested again. "Eri," he said, "it ain't no use. She won't live to git through the breakers."
Captain Eri was not as surprised to hear of the engagement as he pretended to be, for he had long ago made up his mind that Perez meant business this time. But the tale of the fire and the voyage in the carryall tickled him immensely, and he rolled back and forth in the rocker and laughed until his side ached.
The children of Gad after their families: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites: of Haggi, the family of the Haggites: of Shuni, the family of the Shunites: Of Ozni, the family of the Oznites: of Eri, the family of the Erites: Of Arod, the family of the Arodites: of Areli, the family of the Arelites.
This had not been a matter of great moment, for miracles were a little thing in those days, but for an ancient law of Eri that none who had any blemish of body could sit upon the throne; and as a grey hawk was a wild thing of the air which had never sat at the board, or listened to the songs of the poets in the light of the fire, it was not possible to think of one in whose hair its feathers grew as other than marred and blasted; nor could the people separate from their admiration of the wisdom that grew in him a horror as at one of unhuman blood.
The "able seaman" took the reeking, nicotine soaked affair, placed it gingerly between his teeth, held a match to the bowl and coughingly emitted a cloud of ill-smelling smoke. The pipe wheezed and gurgled, and the Mary Ellen rocked and rolled. "Now, then," said Captain Eri, "we've sojered long enough. Go below, and bring up the bait bucket and the lines."
Also there was the clicking sound of oars in row-locks. "Somebody is comin' over from the station," gasped Captain Jerry. "Don't run so, Eri. It's too dark. I've pretty nigh broke my neck already."
Also he was of the blood of the Ernaans, and his birth-place was the Field of Gold; but his eating and sleeping places where the four provinces of Eri, and his abiding place was not upon the ridge of the earth.
As this was but part of a pre-arranged scheme, the young lady declared that a ride was just what she needed. Captain Eri said but little, as they drove up to the "main road"; he seemed to be thinking. Elsie, too, was very quiet. When they reached the fruit and candy shop, just around the corner, the Captain stopped the horse, got down, and went in. When he came out he had a handful of cigars.
"Eri," said Captain Perez anxiously, "was John layin' jest the same way when you found him as he was when we come?" "Right in the same place," was the answer. "I didn't say in the same place. I asked if he was layin' the same way." "He hadn't moved a muscle. Laid jest as if he was dead." It will be noticed that Captain Eri was adhering strictly to the truth.
And now I want to thank you all for what you've done for grandfather. Mrs. Snow told me all about it; you've been so kind that I " "That's all right! that's all right!" hastily interrupted Captain Eri. "Pity if we couldn't help out a shipmate we've sailed with for years and years. But you'd ought to have tried some of OUR cookin'. Tell her about the sugar cake you made, Perez.
