The hen-coop had been driven against another vessel, which I had not observed. I tried to grasp her, but failed. I uttered a loud cry, not with the expectation that the crew of the vessel could save me, that I knew to be impossible, but in the hope that they might be ready for Lancey should he be carried close to them.
You thought it was the dumping-ground of half the cast-off tinware of the earth; that only the shanty, the hen-coop, and the stable overhung its sluggish waters, and only the carpet shaker, the sod gatherer, and the tramp infested its banks. I tell you that in all my wanderings in search of the picturesque, nothing within a day's journey is half as charming.
"Ay," said the old man, as he got off the hen-coop, "you'll all three be useful, if I mistake not, by and by. Down, Vixen, down poor creature, you've lost a good master, I'm afraid." "Stop now let me see," said Ready, talking to himself; "first but I'll get the log board and a bit of chalk, and write them down, for my memory is not quite so good as it was." Seagrave plenty of live stock.
M. de la Fond now observed it covered with people, driven about by the waves; and at the same time, seeing two seamen buoyed up by a hen-coop and some planks, desired them to swim to him with the latter; they did so, accompanied by more of their comrades, and each taking a plank, which were used for oars, they and he paddled along upon the yard, until gaining those who had secured themselves on the main-mast.
He turned and exerted the last remnants of his strength in order to reach this means of safety. It was near enough to be accessible. A few vigorous strokes, a few struggles with the waves, and his hands clutched the bars with the grasp of a drowning man. It was a large hen-coop, capable of keeping several men afloat. Brandon clung to this and at last had rest.
They had no regular stable, and the father left the boys to fit part of the cow-shed up for the pony, which they did by throwing part of the hen-coop open into it. The pigeon-cots were just over his head, and he never could have complained of being lonesome.
And once he brought Jimmie down with him for Ma to look over and approve and they had a wonderful time with the two best hens in the hen-coop for dinner. Ryan incidentally gave his approval to Betty. During these visits Reyburn was making great strides in the wisdom and the knowledge of the love of God. One could not be in that family over Sunday and not feel the atmosphere of a Christian home.
"I can't see," Angus went on, "why you must all turn up the whites of your eyes like a duck in thunder, and hold up your hands in pious horror at me, because I have done just once what every gentleman in the land does every week, and thinks nothing of it. If you had not been brought up in a hen-coop, and ruled like a copy-book, you would not be so con so hideously strict and particular!
"Ah! how is she, the poor, dear woman?" "She is pretty well," answered the painter, "I have just repainted our father's portrait, and aunt Descoings's. I have also painted my own, and I should like to give our mother yours, in the uniform of the dragoons of the Imperial Guard." "Very good." "You will have to come and sit." "I'm obliged to be in this hen-coop from nine o'clock till five."
The galley, the pigsty, the hen-coop, and a large sheep-pen which had been built upon the fore-hatch, were all gone in the twinkling of an eye, leaving the deck as clean as a chin new reaped, and not a stick left to show where anything had stood.
