And had just got permission to "make it," according to a time-honoured custom at sea, when another "Sail, ho!" came down from aloft. "Where away?" called back Mr. Linthwaite, who was midshipman of the forecastle. "Starboard quarter, rounding Flamborough Head, sir. Looks like a full-rigged ship, sir." I sent the messenger into the great cabin to report.
The happy people, whilst they strained their eyes through glasses, desired him to observe different spots on the hardly-perceptible line which they called Flamborough Head and the hills of Yorkshire. His heart turned sick at these objects of their delight, for not one of them raised an answering feeling in his breast.
This intelligence was soon after confirmed by Captain Haymer, of the Flamborough man of war, who had fallen in with part of the Spanish fleet on the coast of Florida, and drove some vessels on shore.
This sermon was of the noblest order, eloquent, spirited, theological, and yet so thoroughly practical, that seven Flamborough boys set off on Monday to destroy French ships of war. Mary did her very utmost not to cry for she wanted so particularly to watch her father but nature and the doctor were too many for her.
And from Yarmouth he set sail for Scarborough, in a sturdy little coaster, which he hired by the week. From Scarborough he would run down to Bridlington not too soon, for fear of setting gossip going, but in time to meet Mordacks at Flamborough, as agreed upon.
He knew that Flamborough was a place of extraordinary honesty, where every one of his buttons had been safe, and would have been so forever; and strictly as he believed in the virtue of his own free importation, it was impossible for him not to learn that certain people thought otherwise, or acted as if they did so.
Strangers also from outlandish parts, Squire Popplewell and his wife Deborah, Mrs. These had a fair and double-horsed carriage in the lane, at the spot where fish face their last tribunal; and scarcely any brains but those of Flamborough could have absorbed such a spectacle as this, together with the deeper expectations from the sea.
We made out the Alliance with a full head of canvas, black and sharp, between us and the moon. Smoke hung above her rail. Getting over against the signal fires blazing on Flamborough Head, she wore ship and stood across our bows, the midshipman on the forecastle singing out to her, by the commodore's orders, to lay the enemy by the board. There was no response. "Do you hear us?" yelled Mr.
Swithin's morn, in the said year 1782, the grannies, wives, and babes of Flamborough, who had been to help the launch, but could not pull the laboring oar, nor even hold the tiller, spent the time till ten o'clock in seeing to their own affairs the most laudable of all pursuits for almost any woman. Upround, and no woman liked to pull the bell, and still less to let another woman do it for her.
I wouldn't have anything to do with him now, not if he were to crawl after me on his hands and knees from here to Flamborough." But the silence of the evening gave back an answer which she was obliged to hear in her heart; and she told herself, though with less certainty: "I won't care; I will end by not caring. He's not worth it."
