By this time it was broad daylight, and Wagtail, Gelid, and Bang, were all three on deck, performing their morning ablutions. As for myself, I was well forward, near the long gun. Pegtop, Mr Bang's black valet, came up to me. "Please, Massa Captain, can you spare me any muskets?" "Any muskets?" said I; "why, half a dozen if you choose." "De wery number my massa told me to hax for.
And without more ado he shook out the red embers from his pipe right on the touch hole of the gun, when the fragment of a broken tube spun up in a small jet of flame, that made me start and jump back. "How dare you, you scoundrel?" said the captain. "Eigh, massa, him no hax me to see if him be load so I was try see. Indeed, I tink him is load after all yet."
When my wife died, I left Minorca with a determination to go to Saint James, but on reaching Madrid, I fell into the hands of a Basque woman, who persuaded me to live with her, which I have done for several years; she is a great hax, and says that if I desert her she will breathe a spell which shall cling to me for ever. Dem Got sey dank, she is now in the hospital, and daily expected to die.
The man mounted the table, and began to drag at the canvas and tangle of rope, and blocks, but there was no attack made upon him, and he struggled on till he was obliged to give up with a sigh of despair. "Can't you do it?" cried Mark. "No, sir, nohow. Wants someone on deck with a hax." "Let's try the window again," cried Mark; but a few minutes decided that.
"Te Deum Laudamus!" exclaimed Master Jehan, creeping out from his hole, "the screech-owls have departed. Och! och! Hax! pax! max! fleas! mad dogs! the devil! I have had enough of their conversation! My head is humming like a bell tower. And mouldy cheese to boot! Come on! Let us descend, take the big brother's purse and convert all these coins into bottles!"
I master de leetle one, Eboe Peter, and we carry dem both prisoners into Falmouth. Massa Aaron fight? Ah, massa, no hax dat question again." "Well, but will Mr Gelid fight?" said I. "I tink him will too great friend of Massa Bang good duck shot too oh yes, fink Massa Paul will fight." "Why," said I, "your friends are all heroes, Pegtop will Mr Wagtail fight also?"
Oui, donnez-moi de hache, de hax, mon ami." His friend handed him the axe, wherewith lie cut off a small portion of the cable and let the end go. Little did that fisherman know that he had also let our Spark go free, and cruelly dashed, for a time at least, the budding hopes of two nations but so it was.
She is a great hax, and says that if I desert her she will breathe a spell which shall cling to me for ever. Dem Got sey dank, she is now in the hospital, and daily expected to die. This is my history, Lieber Herr."
John Ordway. I have observed for several days a species of flax growing in the river bottoms the leaf stem and pericarp of which resembles the common flax cultivated in the U States. the stem rises to the hight of about 21/2 or 3 feet high; as many as 8 or ten of which proceede from the same root. the root appears to be perennial. the bark of the stem is thick strong and appears as if it would make excellent Hax. the seed are not yet ripe but I hope to have an opportunity of collecting some of them after they are so if it should on experiment prove to yeald good flax and at the same time admit of being cut without injuring the perennial root it will be a most valuable plant, and I think there is the greatest probability that it will do so, for notwithstanding the seed have not yet arrived at maturity it is puting up suckers or young shoots from the same root and would seem therefore that those which are fully grown and which are in the proper stage of vegitation to produce the best fax are not longer essencial to the preservation or support of the root. the river somewhat wider than yesterday and the mountains more distant from the river and not so high; the bottoms are but narrow and little or no timber near the river. some pine on the mountains which seems principally confined to their uper region. we killed one Elk this morning and found part of the flesh and the skin of a deer this evening which had been kited and left by Capt.
O she is a powerful hax, that meiga; she is well known in the neighbourhood, and has done much harm to the cattle. I gave her half the dollar I had from you for her trouble. Myself. Then you acted like a simpleton; she has grossly deceived you.
