"Bully for ye, sorr!" cried Tim enraptured. "It's mesilf as loikes a fight, sure. I'm niver at pace barrin' whin I'm in a row, sure, sorr!" "Then you'll be soon in your element," retorted Jock grimly. "Call the hands aft." "Aye, aye, sorr," answered Tim; and going up to the rail he shouted out in his ringing voice, "All ha-a-nds aft!"
Then was heard Tim Rooney's piercing whistle once more on board, and the welcome thrice welcome cry: "All ha-a-nds make sail!" The topsails were soon loosed by one watch, while the other hove up the anchor in fine style to the chorus of "Down in the lowlands, oh!"
