With a curse Joe rushed aft. On his way he saw the sounding rod, and he shouted, "See how much she's got in her, Bill. There's a set of mounseers forrad there, no more good than kittens." Then the mate entered the after-cabin, and found a man on the floor. "What cheer, O, what cheer! Tumble up, my daisy!" The man glared glassily, and muttered, "I speak him Ingleese very good."
Marion Dearsley, pointing with convulsively rigid arm, exclaimed, "The vessel oh, the poor men!" That smack was hove down, and her mainsail was held by the weight of water. "I expect we must carry away something, but I'm going down to him. Jump to the wheel, sir, and cast that lashing. When I wave, shove it hard a-starboard. That way, sir. The men and I must manage forrad.
"Then there was a rushin and a roarin, and the earth shook, and h'all of a sudden h'out of the whirlwind a great voice ollaed: "'Tally-ho! forrad! mush em up, boys, and no Woody quarter! "'Your prayer is eard, Mr. Piper, says I. 'It's a Jedgement on em. "'My prayer is eard, says pore old Pipea. 'It's the orse-dragoons. "Then his ead loll sideways, and he was h'off again."
Something must be done, or the strained ship would go for a certainty; it only wanted one unlucky sea to settle her. But what could one man do? If two of the sodden ruffians forrad would only come up, then something might be done; but one tired sailor was of little use.
Not many boys of sixteen, enthusiasts, endowed with just that touch of the poetic temperament that can set the brain reeling, could know a more wondrous moment. Forrad!" from the wood behind, like the blast of a bellows upon flames! Larry had been past speech when that apocalyptic vision had materialised in response to his halloa.
"Not so bad to look at," I answered, meaningly. "She is a brute in a seaway, but she keeps dry at both ends," assented the fellow, utterly ignoring my meaning. "It's always so with every hooker if she's deep. Some takes it forrad and aft, and some takes it amidships. It's all one s'long as she keeps a dry bilge. Come aboard."
"Ahoy there, forrad!" he shouted in stentorian tones that rang fore and aft like a trumpet. "Bo'sun, send the hands aft." "Say, cap'en," sang out Mr Fosset from the bridge, "shall I call up the fellows down below in the stoke-hold, sir?" "Aye. Ring the engine-room gong.
