"It is in very bad condition, sir; the cannon-ball tore away all the shelves on the starboard side, and knocked the tins and dishes all to pieces. But I can get supper after a fashion," replied the cook. "You may let the supper go to-night, and we will get it on board of the ship. We shall be alongside of her in less than fifteen minutes," said the captain. "Set the colors astern, Flix."
"The top uv the marnin' to ye's!" shouted Felix, as he leaped from his bed about five o'clock, for all hands had turned in about eight o'clock in the evening, as the mosquitoes, attracted by the lanterns, began to be very troublesome, and the Milesian could sleep no longer. "What's the matter with you, Flix?" demanded the captain.
"What are you going to do, Flix?" asked Louis, who was sitting on the rail, busily cutting out a notch in the end of a long piece of board. "Don't you see there is plenty of game here, my darling?" demanded Felix, pointing up into the trees. "Game!" exclaimed Louis contemptuously. "Monkeys!" "Didn't you shoot a couple of them yesterday afternoon, Louis?"
Besides these oppressions, diuers kinds of sicknesses vexed the people also, as the bloodie flix, and hot burning agues which then raged through the land, so that manie died thereof. Hen. And so in the yeare of our Lord 1002, which was about the 24 yeare of king Egelreds reigne, he maried the said Emma with great solemnitie.
"We had a girl in our high school who bore that name, though she was a full-blooded New Yorker; but the master always insisted upon putting the accent on the first syllable, declaring that was the right way to pronounce it. I know we have always pronounced the word Fat´-ee-may, and that is where Flix got the foundation for his abbreviation." "Fatty it is, Captain, if you say so.
Looking forward, there seemed but very few trees or bushes compared with the number along the flowing stream. "Do you see the mias, Louis?" asked Scott. "I do; and he is in a very favorable position. He is a big one, and must be a male," replied Louis, who stood at the stem with a repeating-rifle in his hand. "Do you see him, Flix?" "I do; and he has a green nest in the same tree with him."
She is coming up from the south; and if our business was not such here that none of us can leave, I would send Morris and Flix to the top of that hill on the point, where they could see the ship twenty miles off in this clear air."
"It means that she is going to make a port at Rosetta." "She is about off the Rosetta mouth of the Nile; but she is doing that only to shake off the Guardian-Mother. What is the ship doing, Flix?" "She continues on her course, and takes no notice of the pirate;" and the lookout returned to his station.
"Heave the lead, Flix; it begins to look like shoal water around us," said the captain when they returned to the forecastle. The great rock was of a light color, and could be distinctly seen from the deck. A portion of it rose about six feet above the surface of the water when the Maud anchored, and the receding tide now permitted two feet more of the projecting cone to be seen.
"That's the precise bearing of the one you mean, Flix; but this isn't that one at all, at all," said the captain with a long gape. "Then it must be this one." "The word is spelled with two k's." "That's a hard k'se; but where do you get them in?" The captain spelled the word with another gape, for he had not slept a wink during the night; and Louis advised him to turn in at once.
