As nigh as I calk'late, it's about findin' rest in Jesus, and one a askin' questions, all fa'r and squar', to know the way and whether it's a goin' to lead thar' straight or not, and the other answerin'. And he he was a tinkerin', 'way up on the foremast, George Olver and the rest on us was astern, and I'll hear to my dyin' day how his voice came a floatin' down to us thar' chantin'-like it was cl'ar and fearless and slow.
When they got nearly acrosst I shot the first redskin, and loadin' quick got a bullet into the others. The last Injun did not sink. I watched him go floatin' down stream expectin' every minute to see him go under as he was hurt so bad he could hardly keep his head above water. He floated down a long ways and the current carried him to a pile of driftwood which had lodged against a little island.
"Mebbe you're right, deacon," said Uncle Eb, seeming pacified. "Kin you tell me jest how them earthquakes work? Do they make things go round in a circle? I've been noticin' durin' the last few minutes that the trees and fences were all floatin' round us."
He watched Jakie moving in desultory fashion about the tent but most of the time Jakie stayed inside. "I betche the boys ain't gitting enough old stand-by-yuh chuck," he decided at length. "Floatin' island and stuffed olives for them that likes stuffed olives and salad and all that junk tastes good but I betche the boys need a good feed uh beans!"
Why, she brought the school-house down, and got the audience all wrought up with pity, and sympathy. And then she went on and compared that lonesome voyager to two blissful wedded ones. A pair of white swans floatin' down the waveless calm, bathed in silvery light, floatin' down a shinin' stream that wuz never broken by rough waves, bathed in a sunshine that wuz never darkened by a cloud.
They're happy, an' I stand afar off watchin' 'em; an' some way when I'm out in the starlight when it seems that I ain't lyin' on the earth at all, but floatin' slow an' easy like an eagle restin' on his wings I seem to share in their love, an' I don't seem to grow old.
"The boat, my precious, is at the bottom of the sea." As he said this, he pointed to the mast, half of which was seen rising out of the pool where the boat had gone down. "But you don't need to mind," continued the captain, "for they're goin' to send us in one o' their own boats aboord the floatin' lightship, where we'll get a change o' clothes an' some-thin' to eat."
Every little sail-boat and canoe had its white shadder floatin' along by it, shinin' out from the blue and sea-green surface of the water.
So jest give 'em a flick over me pore old back's too stiff t' let me reach 'em, what wi' me rheumatiz an' a floatin' kidney or so " "Kidneys!" snarled Joe, drawing out a large bandanna handkerchief and polishing the old man's natty shoes until they shone resplendent. "What's the matter with ye blessed kidneys now?" "Don't I tell ye they floats, Joe, they floats!" "Float!" growled Joe.
"I'll take no risks," said Disko then "not with him floatin' around so near. Abishai won't sink fer a week. Heave in the dories an' we'll dress daown after supper." That was a mighty dressing-down, attended by three or four blowing grampuses. It lasted till nine o'clock, and Disko was thrice heard to chuckle as Harvey pitched the split fish into the hold.
