If what holds them together forrard was to part they'd slide off that there slipperiness and sink." We rowed close, the three of us greatly marvelling, as you may suppose, for never had the like of such an incident as this happened at sea within the knowledge of ever a one of us, and Fallows alone was a man of five and forty, who had been using the ocean for thirty-three years.
Then, all at once, I heard steps coming along the deck, forrard, and the 'prentice, whose time-keeping it was, came up on to the fo'cas'le head. "The Second Mate says he can't see any light Jessop," he said, coming over to where I stood. "Whereabouts is it?" "I don't know," I answered. "I've lost sight of it myself. It was a green light, about a couple of points on the port bow.
While he was gone, the other 'prentice came up to say that the Steward was in his berth, and that he wanted to know what the hell he was fooling round his part of the ship for. The Second Mate said nothing, for nearly a minute. Then he turned to us, and told us we might go forrard. As we moved off in a body, and talking in undertones, Tammy came down from the poop, and went up to the Second Mate.
And then, when the box is goin' back'ard and forrard, I could send the lad a cake, or a pork-pie, or an apple; for he can do with an extry bit, bless him! whether they stint him at the meals or no. My children can eat as much victuals as most, thank God!" "Well, well, we won't send him out o' reach o' the carrier's cart, if other things fit in," said Mr. Tulliver.
The Second Mate was standing forrard on the break of the poop, and I was here all by myself. I felt as if I were frozen stiff. When it came towards me, I let go of the wheel, and yelled and bunked forrard to the Second Mate. He caught hold of me and shook me; but I was so jolly frightened, I couldn't say a word. I could only keep on pointing.
If you have read that pearl of stories, "Cranford," you will remember how Mrs. Jenkyns, to avoid explaining things to the small Deborah, "took to stirring the fire or sending the 'forrard' child on an errand." Now, unlike Mrs.
The Parson jist made a spring forrard, and kitched him up as quick as wink, and throwed him right over the fence whap on the broad of his back, and then walked on as if nothin' had happened as demure as you please, and lookin' as meek as if butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.
Without any preliminary, she at once demanded why he had not come down to see them. 'Mary, said he, calling the servant, as if he did not hear her, 'Some ale, and the ginger wine, and the grey-beard mebbe you'd like a drop a' shart' to me; but I declined. She repeated her question, but Uncle Bennet was looking towards me. 'The wuts be very forrard, said he, 'I got some a-most ready to cut.
I'll tell you what, Jim, there's been a wrack, or a nip, up yonder, among the ice, and this schooner has been built anew out of that there schooner You see if it don't turn out as I tell you. Ay, and there's Captain Gar'ner, himself, alive and well, just comin' forrard."
"I ain't scairt o' no man, and ye know it's well's ye wanter know. I'd go in a jiffey, only bein a young man, I don' like tew put myself forrard tew speak for them as is older." "Why don' ye go yerself, Peleg, if ye be so dretful brave!" inquired Israel Goodrich. "That's so, Peleg, why don' ye go?" "I ain't no talker," said Peleg. "Ther's Ezry, he'd orter go, he's sech a good talker."
