"The ship is so far off that I can't tell whether or not she is still rushing things; but I judge by her distance that the engine is making things lively in the fire-room," said he. "How about the Fatimé?" asked the captain. "I can still see her." "The Fatty is sodjering." "What do you mean by that, Flix?"
"Not just yet, Morris," replied Captain Scott, who seemed to have no apprehension that the Moor would overhaul the Maud. "Let me have your glass, Flix; and it is your trick at the wheel, Louis." He took the spy-glass and left the pilot-house. They saw him climb the ladder to the hurricane deck, and it was evident that he intended to take a look for himself.
"I am spoiling for a fight with a cobra;" and he came back to plain English, which he could use as well as any one. "Plenty of them, Mr. McGavonty," replied the East Indian. "You will not get badly spoiled before you fall in with all you will wish to see." "Then I will bag some of them," added Felix. "No, you won't, Flix; they will be more likely to bag you," rallied Scott.
"Heave the lead on the port hand, Flix," added the captain very quietly; and he seemed to be still in a brown study. "Mark under water two," reported the Milesian. "Give the depth in feet now."

I wonder what the Fatty is about just now?" added Louis. "Flix will soon enlighten us on that subject, for he has a wonderfully sharp pair of eyes." "Do you really believe we shall get over to Cyprus, Captain Scott?" asked Louis, looking sharply into the eyes of the navigator. "Why should we not?"
Colonel Vandegobbleschroy. "Mrs. Major Macan and the four Misses Macan. "The Honorable Mrs. Burgoo, Mrs. Flix, Hicks, Wicks, and many more too numerous to mention. The flower of our camp was, however, collected there, and the last words of Lord Lake to me, as I left him, were, 'Gahagan, I commit those women to your charge.
"Don!" shouted Scott, as soon as the rifle-party appeared on the forecastle, and while the little steamer was still backing. "On deck, sir," promptly responded the second engineer. "Go below forward, and see what damage has been done to us," added the captain. "Flix, heave the lead!"

Then the account informs us that they went 'through the isle' to Paphos; and doubtless the place was near Point Papho, which I find on my chart. Don't forget to tell Mrs. Blossom, Flix, that you have been to an island visited by Paul and Barnabas in their missionary travels.
Two bells went, and then three, and the lady did not come. At last Wong, the Chinese steward, came forward. "All slick man go aft," says he. "Lady flix um." "Is she not coming forward?" asked Newman. "No can do. Slick man lay aft." "What have you there?" I demanded, for he bore a glass filled with liquid. "Dosey. Mlissa Mate, him say give slick man inside," and he pointed into the foc'sle.
