The company joined in unison: "Oh, dubinushka, heave-ho!" And then the bassos smote the air with deep sounds: "It goes, it goes." And the tenors repeated: "It goes, it goes." Foma listened to the song and directed his footsteps toward it, on the wharf. There he noticed that the carriers, formed in two rows, were rolling out of the steamer's hold huge barrels of salted fish.
And the company, like one huge pair of lungs, heaved forth loudly and in unison: "Oh, dubinushka, heave-ho!" Foma felt pleased and envious as he looked at this work, which was as harmonious as music. The slovenly faces of the carriers beamed with smiles, the work was easy, it went on smoothly, and the leader of the chorus was in his best vein.
With a 'yeo heave-ho! we levered her an inch at a time, and then loosened her by working her from side to side, and so, panting and struggling, shoved the punt towards the deep. Slowly a course was shaped out of the creek past the bar and then along the edge of the thick weeds, stretching so far out into the water that the moorhen feeding near the land was beyond reach of shot.
'Come if you're coming, and if not, don't keep honest folks waiting. Neil leaned against the cliff and looked stubbornly into vacancy. From his attitude it was plain that he was inflexible. 'Yo-ho! sang out the sailors; 'heave-ho! and the sails of the little vessel slowly filled as her bows swung round to the sea. Marjorie made a bolt towards the cliff, and began to climb.
The deep-toned chorus of the sailor, the creaking of the capstan, and the clanking of the iron cogs; the "heave-ho!" at the windlass, and the grating of the huge anchor-chain, as link after link rasped through the rusty ring sounds that warned us to make ready for a change. In the midst of these came the brisk rolling of a drum.
And as he saw the Folk-men grip the cords with muscular hands, awaiting his command, he thrilled with pride and with the sense of real achievement. "Come, now, boys!" he cried. "Pull! Heave-ho, there! Altogether, lift her! Pull!" He strained at the rope which he and two others held; the rest each rope now held by three or four men bent their back to the labor.
"Howsomever, 'tis Jerry I'm arter my mate Jeremy as went adrift from me my mate Jerry as could sing so true, but I was the lad to dance!" And here he must needs fall a-dancing in his rags, singing hoarsely: "Heave-ho, lads, and here's my ditty! Saw ye e'er in town or city A lass to kiss so sweet an' pretty As Bess o' Bednall Green.
In simpler words, the would-be priest who simply hasn't got what it takes, can be given the heave-ho without it being necessary for him, or his family or friends, to understand why. It's all very simple; he lacked the humility essential in a priest of the Gods, as proven by his rebellious reaction." Sam said, unhappily, "I don't get all this."
With the last 'Heave-ho! at the shortened tackle the women laid hold of the nets, and with casual male assistance laid them out on the shingle, removed any fragments of fish, and generally prepared them for stowing in the boat again.
"When we start, you all want to heave-ho together. Good team-work will do it. "All set?" he called to Jean, when Pete Lowry bent his back to start the engine. "Business'll be pickin' up, directly!" "All set," replied Jean cheerfully. It seemed then that everything began to start at once, and to start in different directions. The engine snorted and pounded so that the whole machine shook with ague.
