At the right moment he jibed the mainsail over and hauled back on the wind. "Here she comes! Make ready to jump for it," 'Frisco Kid cried to Joe. The Reindeer dashed by their stern, heeling over till the cabin windows were buried, and so close that it appeared she must run them down. But a freak of the waters lurched the two crafts apart.
Yes, Sir! that high-toned, cantin' school-teacher was keepin' a married woman in 'Frisco, all the while he was here honey-foglin' with Cressy, and I've got the papers yer to prove it." He tapped his breast-pocket with a coarse laugh and thrust his face forward into the gray shadow of his adversary's.
You know, he stayed in her, on purpose, when all the others left. He told me that he wasn't going to be done out of it, for anyone." "What did the other lot leave for?" he asked. Then, as the idea seemed to strike him "Jove! do you think they saw something, and got scared? It's quite possible. You know, we only joined her in 'Frisco. She had no 'prentices on the passage out.
Like all seamen he had no silent wits of his own, and every word he thought, that he must speak. "The guv'nor's not here," he said; "gone to 'Frisco. Lucky for you, for he don't like strangers. Aye," he goes on, "he's a wonderful man for his own way; to be sure he is. You'll be aboard and away before sunset, or you might see him. Take my advice and put about.

"Let her go! Let her go!" 'Frisco Kid shouted. Joe let go just as he was on the verge of going overboard, and the skiff dropped rapidly astern. He glanced in a shamefaced way at his companion, expecting to be sharply reprimanded for his awkwardness. But 'Frisco Kid smiled good-naturedly. "That 's all right," he said. "No bones broke and nobody overboard.

"I 'll tell you what we 'll do," 'Frisco Kid whispered, while cooking dinner. "To-night we 'll drag French Pete down " "Drag French Pete down!"
Here's to San Francisco and perdition to him that calls it 'Frisco!" "So you have said good-bye to ambition?" asked Isabel, curiously. "I used to think you had a good deal." "So I had. Once I was younger and knew less.
I'm goin' to pay up fer ye down to th' store an' give ye enough to land ye in Frisco. Then th' good Lord an' what He put into that head o' yers must look after ye. I'm gonta foreclose on ye, Hiram."
