There was just room for the small farm and the forest; we looked down at the fish-house and its rough sheds, and the weirs stretching far out into the water. As we looked upward, the tops of the firs came sharp against the blue sky.
He strolled down the lane, passing several cottages, and then a fish-house, where several men were splitting and salting fish. All these were on the left side of the lane. On the right was a long dock, and in it were several boats. "There is Tim Tyler," exclaimed Wort, "and there is his boat. There is young Tim, the thief!"
"You don't mean to say that five of us have got to live in this hole?" "Nowhere else, unless you want to stay out on the beach or in the fish-house." "But where do we sleep?" "There!" Jim gestured toward the wooden framework on the right wall. Percy thrust his hand into one of the bunks. "Why, there's no mattress or spring here! It's only a bare box!" "That's just what it is, Whittington!
"Well," said Jim, when he had finished, "they say a patient waiter is no loser; but I guess it depends a good deal on how you spend your time while you're waiting eh, Perce?" That night, after dark, when the boys were preparing to turn in, Filippo stepped out to the fish-house for some kindling. He came back on the run. "Fuoco!" he panted. The others trooped out hastily.
Thousands of poles support half-acres of the spruce-bough shelf, beneath which is a dark, cool region, crossed with foot-paths, and not unfrequently sprinkled and washed by the surf, a most kindly office on the part of the sea, you will allow, when once you have scented the fish-offal perpetually dropping from the evergreen fish-house above.
Big Parker Dixon smiled and nodded from where he was unloading shining mackerel and big gaping cod, and Mary knew his consent had been given. "It is a very smelly place," she remarked as she picked her way along the wet fish-house floor. Ellis laughed. "That's what you summer folks think; we like it."
We read they assembled in a malt-house beyond the bridge, where, being disturbed, they chose more private places in the town until liberty of conscience was granted, when they publicly assembled in a fish-house converted to a place of worship.’ At that time many people in the town were Dissenters; but it was not till 1748 that they had a church formed.
They built a house for him there, into which he threw the lupo as he caught them. The god Salevao and his travelling party in passing there one day admired the house, and called it Falealupo, or a house for lupo; and hence the name alike of the fish-house and the settlement.
"There has been a wretched-looking Indian hanging about Seal Cove for the last two or three days, stealing pretty nearly everything he could lay his hands on, and Mrs. Jenkin told me that last night he broke into Oily Dave's fish-house and cleared off with every bit of dried fish there was." "So I have been buying stolen goods. How horrid!" exclaimed Katherine with a frown.
"Of course I am," he said. "I've sot over quite a lot of people to Green's Island. I sot over a man last week." Mary hesitated before she asked, "If you please, what is sot over?" "Why, row 'em over. If you don't take the steamboat there ain't no other way than to be sot over, you see." "Oh, I see. Thank you. Shall we go to the fish-house now?" "Why, yes, or you can wait here if you'd rather."
