Out of the welter of grey water to windward came another trawler, then a third appeared and a fourth. Gorman edged up close to von Moll and caught him by the elbow. "I say, von Moll," he said, "it's jolly lucky for you that you didn't have time to shoot Smith. That ship of yours is a goner, you know.
"If he gets between me and that bunch," she heard him say, "I'm a goner." She jerked her horse violently out of the road; Laramie had raised his voice and kept right on talking: "Turn your back, Van Horn you, too, Stone. Shoot up your hands, you Texas higher!" he called to one of the Texans. And with the words not out of his mouth, he leaped as if on springs to his feet.
In another minute Gee, but it was a close shave. She is adorable, she is the most adorable creature in the world, even though she is the daughter of old man Blithers, and I 'gad I wonder what will come of it in the end? Keep a tight grip on yourself, Bobby, or you're a goner, sure as fate."
"Huh!" said Del Mar a little later to Michael, having strolled down the platform to where the crate was piled on a truck with other baggage destined for the train. "Got your foot smashed. Well, it'll teach you a lesson to keep your feet inside." "That claw is a goner," one of the station baggage-men said, straightening up from an examination of Michael through the bars.
"That poor robin thought he was a goner!" she said to herself. "That old owl is good for something, after all!" Widow Blunt's full-blooded Plymouth Rock Rooster came around the house with four hens. He was going to show the hens where the cherries were falling on the ground. One of the hens saw the big owl sitting in the cherry tree. "See that terrible bird in the tree!" she said.
If she get t'rough it she 's a sure-enough goner, I tell you dat. Her anchors vaire light, only good for mud. I tell ze boys get more heavy anchors, but dey laugh. Some day be sorry, for sure." One of the sloops to leeward raised a patch of sail and began the terrible struggle out of the jaws of destruction and death.
"Well, hardly!" murmured Tom, as he helped her to, a sitting position. "You're coming in on us fast. What's the trouble? Oh, and there is Grace and your father! "The sleighs ran into each other," answered Nellie. "Can you stop the horses, father?" she called out. "Yes, but the sleigh is a goner," answered Mr. Laning, and then some sharp words passed between himself and the livery-stable driver.
"Gee! that was a close shave, though!" he gasped, as he sat up, the water pouring from him in rivulets. Thad was pumping his hand like a machine, and almost crying in his hysterical delight. "Oh! you gave me an awful scare, old fellow, you sure did! I thought you was a goner, and felt like jumping in, too, myself.
"I specs my ole Marster'll feel right smart lonesome when I'se gone, but I don't keer 'bout stayin' for company's sake." "My ole Marster's room's a heap better'n his company," said Tom Anderson, "an' I'se a goner too. Dis yer freedom's too good to be lef' behind, wen you's got a chance to git it. I won't stop to bid ole Marse good bye."
"Miss Blank is jes' wild fer ye, and says fly round right away. They's comin' in, I tell yer, heaps on 'em one was took out dead, and I see him, hi! warn't he a goner!" With which cheerful intelligence the imp scuttled away, singing like a blackbird, and I followed, feeling that Richard was not himself again, and wouldn't be for a long time to come.
