But the young wrens said, "We will not eat yet, the bear must come to the nest, and beg for pardon and say that we are honorable children, before we will do that." Then the willow-wren flew to the bear's hole and cried, "Growler, thou art to come to the nest to my children, and beg their pardon, or else every rib of thy body shall be broken."
Almost every bullet expended in the gig was traced to the gun-carriage, or its immediate vicinity on the poop. On the 12th of January 1845, Lieutenant Lodwick, first lieutenant of HM steamer Growler, Captain Buckle, who had been away for some time cruising in the pinnace on the look-out for slavers, fell in with a felucca, which, on seeing the pinnace, hove to.
The Christmas dinner was in course of preparation, and Sing Sing, that villainous Chinese cook, had absconded. Mrs. Growler, no doubt, did her best; but Mrs. Growler was old and slow, and the house was full of guests. It was by no means an idle time; but still Kate found an opportunity to say a word to her sister in the kitchen. "What do you think of him, Mary?"
The road through the river-valley was little used, and nobody came to interrupt the work. The night was dark, the sky heavy with moveless clouds. Lupin gave the Masher and the Growler their final instructions and said, with a laugh: "I can't tell you how amused I am at the thought of seeing Daubrecq's face when they proceed to take his scalp or slice his skin into ribbons.
Sancho overheard him and said, "It is eight or ten days, brother growler, since I entered upon the government of the island they gave me, and all that time I never had a bellyful of victuals, no not for an hour; doctors persecuted me and enemies crushed my bones; nor had I any opportunity of taking bribes or levying taxes; and if that be the case, as it is, I don't deserve, I think, to come out in this fashion; but 'man proposes and God disposes; and God knows what is best, and what suits each one best; and 'as the occasion, so the behaviour; and 'let nobody say "I won't drink of this water;" and 'where one thinks there are flitches, there are no pegs; God knows my meaning and that's enough; I say no more, though I could."
The men had to stand where the waves broke, and that is why they wore rubber boots. Suddenly Laddie, who had run down the beach to watch a big piece of driftwood come floating in, called: "Oh, Russ! Come here, quick! Here is a fish that's got legs! It's a fish that can walk! It's worse than a Sallie Growler! Come and look at it!" Russ at first thought his smaller brother was playing a joke.
"We're all ready," answered the Go Ahead boys together and a moment later the Black Growler was speeding on her way toward the waters of the open lake. "My, what a glorious day this is," exclaimed John when a little later the motor-boat was fast leaving Oswego behind. Indeed there was much to cause the young sailors to be enthusiastic over the morning.
It was certainly a most comfortless kind of carriage, something like what a growler would be if you removed all its lining and padding, and with very narrow seats. In its place victorias and landaus have become almost universal, and those belonging to private owners are often well built and nicely kept.
The vigil of the Go Ahead boys, however, was not rewarded by detecting the presence of any one with plots against the Black Growler. The day of the race dawned clear and fair. The excitement among the boys had now become intense. Everything had been done for the swift little racer that had been in the power of the boys.
After she has eaten her breakfast, she will give him his. See how quiet and submissive he looks. He is a good dog. Eva's parents live in the South. Her father was a Planter. Their house was but a short distance from the river. Eva and her pet dog Growler used to romp up and down on the sandy shore of the river. One day Eva and Growler went to the water as usual.
