"Captain Gar'ner volunteered to go across for the doctor in my boat " with a heavy emphasis on the possessive pronoun "and we had him to look at the patient. But, if the salt-water be good for consumptive people, as some pretend, I think there is generally little hope for seamen whose lungs once give way." "The poor man was a mariner, was he?
But we shall never have things right, until Rufus King, or some man like him, gets in. If Gar'ner lets that Daggett get the start of him, he never need come home again. The islands are as much mine as if I had bought them; and I'm not sure an action wouldn't lie for seals taken on them without my consent.
Some were of opinion that the deacon foresaw a successful career to, and eventual prosperity in the habits and enterprise of, the young mate, and that he was willing to commit to his keeping, not only his niece, but the three farms, his "money at use," and certain shares he was known to own in a whaler and no less than three coasters, as well as an interest in a store at Southold; that is to say, to commit them all to the keeping of "young Gar'ner" when he was himself dead; for no one believed he would part with more than Mary, in his own lifetime.
But what can they do for seafaring folks in the moon, if what you tell me, Captain Gar'ner, is the truth?" "They must do without them. I fancy oil and skins are not very much in demand among the moonites, Stephen. What's that, off here to the eastward, eh? East-and-by north-half-east, or so?" "I see what you mean, sir.
When Roswell reached his unfortunate companion, the latter was perfectly sensible, and quite cool. "God be thanked that you have found me, Gar'ner," he said; "at one time I had given it up." "Thank God, also, that you are living, my friend," answered the other. "I expected only to find your body; but you do not seem to be much hurt." "More than appears, Gar'ner; more than appears.
It is not our intention to describe more of the religious for me. Where there is the same knowledge, there is too much companionship, like, for worship and reverence." "But we are told that man was created after the image of God." "In his likeness, Captain Gar'ner with some of the Divine Spirit, but not with all. That makes him different from the brutes, and immortal.
'Some of these fine mornings, as he expressed it, 'Captain Gar'ner would turn out, and find that his herd was off gone to pasture in some other field. This was a view of the matter with which Roswell did not at all agree. His forbearing and cautious policy had produced excellent results so far, and he hoped it would continue so to do, until both schooners were full.
"It's a pity, Gar'ner, that we have no craft ready for the work," he said, under the first impulse of the intelligence. "At this early time in the season, a large ship might be filled!" "We have other matters on our hands, Captain Daggett," was the answer; "they must be looked to first.
The very women would make the island too hot for us in such a case. Do your duty by Deacon Pratt, Gar'ner, and leave me here to get along as well as I can. I shall be able to walk a little in a fortnight; and, in a month, I hope to be well enough to get out among the people, and regulate their sealing a little myself. Mr. Macy will be more moderate with my eye on him." "A month!
Yonder high land is the spot you seek; and along the north shore of that island are elephants, lions, dogs, bears, and other animals, to fill up all the craft that ever came out of the Vineyard!" "This is hearty, Gar'ner," returned the other, giving his brother master a most cordial shake of the hand, "and it's just what I like.
