Mr Martin, the master, had meanwhile brought up the chart and spread it open upon the capstan-head; but the moment that we looked at it and compared it with what we saw around us, it became evident that it was by no means to be relied upon, so far at least as this particular spot was concerned. "'Bout ship at once, if you please, Mr Flinn," said the skipper.
"Why, no longer ago than supper-time last night, when ye said ye had eaten such a lot that ye wouldn't be able to taste another bite for a month to come, an' didn't I see ye pitchin' into the wittles this mornin' as if ye had bin starvin' for a week past?" "Git along wid ye," retorted Flinn; "yer jokes is as heavy as yerself, an' worth about as much."
"Don't take on ye the dooties of a prophet, Paddy," said Ben Bolter, "for the last time ye tried it ye was wrong." "When was that?" demanded Flinn.
Now, as there is nothing particular for you to do, you may as well " At this moment Mr Flinn entered. "Sit down, Mr Flinn, sit down, man," said the skipper. "Well, how are things looking on board the prizes by this time?" "Capitally, sir, I am happy to say," replied Flinn, with a beaming phiz. "The wounded have nearly all been attended to, and we may begin to transfer them at once.
I at once frankly told him there was nothing I should like better; and, as my uncle also approved of the proposal, the question was settled then and there. I learned, with a great deal of pleasure, that he had secured as his first lieutenant, Mr Flinn, our quondam "second" on board the "Juno."
Of course every eye was instantly turned back, and they were just in time to see something that announced the truth of Jud's assertion. Andy Flinn stood up in the bow of the second boat, which no longer chugged away as before, and he threw something out that splashed in the water. "It's their anchor!" cried Jud. "Either somebody's overboard, or else their motor's broken down!"
Flinn, she should be treated with kindness and respect. She declared she would rather die than marry one who had been guilty of such outrageous conduct. They tried to force the ring on her finger, and the priest was proceeding with the ceremony when the lady seized a jug of milk which stood on a table near and dashed it in the face of "His Reverence."
It is said that fortune favours the brave, and on that occasion the proverb was verified. There can be no question that our friend Jim Slagg was brave. All Irishmen are courageous, therefore it is equally certain that Flinn was brave, and the attenuated black could not have been otherwise than brave, else he would not have continued to enjoy himself in the dangerous neighbourhood of Slagg's gun.
"Done it! av coorse ye have!" cried Flinn, picking up an enormous bird; "it cudn't have bin nater done by a sportin' lord." "Then it ain't a tame one?" asked Slagg eagerly. "No more a tame wan than yoursilf, an' the best of aitin' too," said. Flinn.
Among the leading and earliest colonists of the "Blue Grass State" who accompanied Daniel Boone, the ubiquitous Irish were represented by men bearing such names as Mooney, McManus, Sullivan, Drennon, Logan, Casey, Fitzpatrick, Dunlevy, Cassidy, Doran, Dougherty, Lynch, Ryan, McNeill, McGee, Reilly, Flinn, and the noted McAfee brothers, all natives of Ireland or sons of Irish immigrants.
