"Now the signal it was made for the grand fleet to anchor, All in the Downs that night for to meet; Then stand by your stoppers, See clear your shank painters, Hawl all your clew garnets, stick out tacks and sheets." Here Dick was interrupted by another fiddle, which went "tum, tum scrape tum, tum." "There's Opposition Bill, Dick," said my father; "I thought you would bring him out."
"Boatswain's mate," bawled out the sleepy and sulky Mr Rattlin, "watch and idlers, wear ship." "Ay, ay, sir whew, whew, whittle whew watch and idlers, wear ship! Tumble up there, tumble up. Master-at-arms, brush up the bone-polishers." "What an infarnal nonsensical ceremony!" growled the pilot, sotto voce; "all bawl and no hawl lucky we have plenty of sea-room."
Hawl on the bowlin, The jolly ship's a-rollin Hawl on the bowlin, And we'll all drink rum. In comes the rope with a "Yo! heave ho!" and a jerk, until the "belay" sung out by the mate signifies that the work is done. Then, there is the scrambling on the deck when the wind changes quarter, and the yards want squaring as the wind blows more aft.
It was not the intention of our packet captain to go within the pier, for the purpose of saving the port-anchorage dues, which amount to eight pounds sterling, but a government boat came off, and ordered the vessel to hawl close up to the quay, an order which was given in rather a peremptory manner.
"Aw, let's be neighbourly, you know," said Pete. "It wouldn't be dacent to disappoint people at all. We'll hawl up for a minute just, and hoof up the time at a gallop. Woa, lass, woa, mare, woa, bogh!"
"Let the honest man go, Traynor. What do ye hawl him that way for, ye gallis pet'?" "Honest!" replied Traynor; "how very honest he is, the desavin' villain, to be stand-in' at the windy there, wantin' to overhear the little harmless talk we had." "Come, Traynor," said Brady, seizing him in his turn by the neck, "take your hands off of me, or, bad fate to me, but I'll lave ye a mark."
They have burned the Crane House that was to hawl it taught.
With these he could pull and hawl and romp and tear as long as he pleased; and the more active he became in this raggamuffin species of diversion, the more they relished his company.
Onder, below there, look out for your corns, hawl your feet in, like turtles, for I am a comin'. Take care o' your ribs, my old 'coons, for my elbows are crooked. Who wants to grow? I'll squeeze you out as a rollin'-pin does dough, and make you ten inches taller. I'll make good figures of you, my fat boys and galls, I know. Look out for scaldin's there.
Jorrocks, as we say with the Surrey." "Haw! haw! haw!" grunts Mr. Jorrocks, who is busy sucking a bone; "haw! hawl haw! werry good, Crane, werry good owes you one. Let's see, now three and three are six, six brace among eight oh dear, that's nothing like enough. I wish, Mrs. J , you had followed my adwice, and roasted them all.
