"Good!" said I, "you will make an apt scholar; but, mind, that I did not say hake, but haik; the words are, however, very much alike; and, as you observe, upon your hake you may hang my haik. We will now proceed to the numerals." "What are numerals?" said Belle. "Numbers. I will say the Haikan numbers up to ten. There, have you heard them?" "Yes." "Well, try and repeat them."
He also bought several bushels of salt, as well as two barrels of hake heads to start them in lobstering. The Barracouta's tank was filled with twenty-five gallons of gasolene, and six five-gallon cans were purchased besides. The boat would require about seven gallons a day for ordinary fishing, so this would supply them for more than a week.
Afterwards, when Hake went to live in Germany, I used to take these walks with Borrow alone. Two more interesting men it would be impossible to meet. The remarkable thing was that there was between them no sort of intellectual sympathy. In style, in education, in experience, whatever Hake was Borrow was not. Borrow knew almost nothing of Hake’s writings, either in prose or in verse.
"Just kidnapping poor natives in the different islands away to the westward whenever she could get hold of them, and bringing them here as slaves, to labour in the mines, or at any other task their masters may think fit to put them to," answered Hake.
"This is important information, my man; you should at once have informed the consul, who might have taken steps to get the natives liberated," observed Jack. "If I had gone on shore, sir, I should have had a sharp knife stuck under my ribs before I was many hours older," answered Hake.
Though the captain of the corvette politely pressed us to stop for dinner, and offered to send for Captain Hake, I was glad that Captain Bland declined his proposals. Directly we got on board, the boat being hoisted in, we made sail for Payta, where we shortly arrived.
Cod and cusk are here the year around, the cod being most abundant in the spring. Haddock are here in February and March: hake are in the deep water on the edges in summer.
Just east of this ground is a piece of bottom composed of hard mud and shells where hake usually are abundant in summer. Seguin Hub. This lies SSE. 5½ miles from Seguin Light. There is a collection of half a dozen small hummocks rising from the 65 or 70 fathoms of the surrounding muddy bottom to 30 or 35 fathoms of rocky bottom. These are hand-line spots.
Captain Hake had been specially civil whenever he met me in company with Captain Bland, and I began to hope that he would allow me to join the "Lady Alice." My old friend at length once more pressed the point. Captain Hake at once assumed the stern manner he knew well how to put on.
Our hero retired immediately, but he observed in passing that Hake was summoned to attend the King, and that another man stepped into the boat to row him to his own ship. "Is all well?" growled the rich voice of old Guttorm as he passed the vessel of that worthy.
