The repairs, however, took longer than was expected, as the damage received was far more serious than at first supposed. However, the work was such as could be accomplished while the ship was in Simon's Bay. "Take care your machinery don't break down again, Mr Rivett," observed Mr Scales, the master, who was generally known as Gunter Scale.
"You don't mean to say that you have a sweetheart do you?" said a youth of about seventeen, who had a tendency to be what is styled cheeky. Gunter turned on him with contempt. "Well, now," he replied, "if I had a smooth baby-face like yours I would not say as I had, but bein' a man, you see, I may ventur' to say that I have."
There was everything and everybody of the tip-top sort; and I have heard that Mr. Gunter, of Berkeley Square, supplied the ices, supper, and footmen, though of the latter Brough kept a plenty, but not enough to serve the host of people who came to him. The party, it must be remembered, was Mrs.
The church has a monument to an ancestor of that Colonel Gunter who took part in the escape of Charles II. Near by is Lordington House, erected by the father of Cardinal Pole and said to be haunted by the ghost of that Countess of Salisbury who, when an old woman upwards of seventy, was beheaded by the order of Henry VIII, and caused the headman much trouble by refusing to place her head upon the block; an illustration by Cruickshank depicts the executioner chasing the Countess round the platform.
Well, Gunter, old boy, have you iced your horse to-day? Have you heard that Brown and Co. are in the Gazette? No, which Brown not John Brown? No, William Brown. What, Brown of Goodman's Fields?

Divide the knots by the same decimal, and it gives the statute miles." "I will try to remember that decimal as you have done," replied Louis. "Now, Mr. Scott, don't open Bowditch's Navigator to us, or talk about projection, 'logarithms, 'Gunter, and 'inspection; for I am not capable of understanding them, for my trigonometry has gone to the weeping willows." "Talk to us in English, Mr.
The bride and bridegroom took the head, and the soup was placed before them; for this was not, as Dick explained, a breakfast served by Gunter, but a dinner suitable to people who had been engaged for some time back. At this joke no one knew if they should laugh or not, and Mortimer slyly attracted the attention of the company to Bret and Leslie, who were examining the cake.
Some cannon were at once brought up and placed in position here, and opened fire on the Guben gate. Captain Gunter, of Hepburn's regiment, went forward with twelve men, and in spite of a very heavy fire from the walls reconnoitred the ditch and approaches to the walls. The next day all was ready for the assault.
David Bright only meant that, having observed through his telescope the little transaction between the White Cloud and the Coper, his intention was to pay that vessel a visit to go carousing, or, as the North Sea smacksmen have it, "cruisin'." Gunter obeyed the order with satisfaction and alacrity. "Jump in, Spivin, and you come too, Billy."
"You're a liar," returned the burglar, promptly. Gunter was fierce by nature. He made no rejoinder, but struck a blow at the other which would have felled him had it taken effect.
