"It's close on midnight, hows'ever," observed the captain; and drawing himself up he raised the scuttle with his head, so as to call Yann that way. Then a weird glimmer fell from above. "Yann! Yann! Look alive, matey!" "Matey" answered roughly from outside while through the half-opened hatchway the faint light kept entering like that of dawn.
Hows'ever, like the lubber he is axing your pardon humbly, sir, for speakin' disrespectable of one of your passengers, sir he lets the dipper slip in between the breakers; and in tryin' to get it out again he managed to cast off the lashin's; two of the breakers struck adrift; and before we could do anything with 'em they had started three of the planks, makin' the boat leak that bad that, as you saw yourself, sir, it were all we could do to keep her above water until you reached us."
I don't reckon that we're so very hard and fast on the mud, hows'ever; for there's a good seventeen foot o' water under the bows; and I noticed, when we'd finished loadin' her t'other day, that she only drawed seventeen foot six for'ard."
It warn't much execution for nine pound nothin', multiplied by five for costs; but hows'ever here he stopped for seventeen year.
"But he may have had somethin' for all you didn't know it," suggested Bill Bowls. "Well, p'r'aps he had. Hows'ever, the next we heard was that he'd gone to Canada, an' tuk a small farm there, which was all well enough, but now we've got a letter from him sayin' that he's in trouble, an' don't see his way out of it very clear.
"Sure it's a misfortunate pig I've been iver since I left Owld Ireland," he remarked to his pipe one day after dinner, being alone with that implement at the time; "an no sooner does the first stroke of good luck befall me, an me fortune's made intirely, than whoop! down goes the whole consarn to the bottom of the say. It's well, hows'ever, that ye didn't go down yerself along with it, Simon.
Hows'ever, her father bein' a pointsman, she wos shifted along with him to Langrye station that's where your son is, ma'am an' as we don't stop there we was obleeged to confine our courtship to a nod an' a wave of a handkerchief. Leastwise she shook out a white handkerchief an' I flourished a lump o' cotton-waste.
"Leastwise we have the best reason for believin' that he's detained among them against his will. Hows'ever, it's of no use cryin' over spilt milk. I'm bound to lay at anchor in this port till mornin', so, as I can't get up steam for a song in the circumstances, here goes for a yarn."
Weller uttered these words in so serious a manner, that the pretty housemaid cast down her eyes and looked very grave. 'Hows'ever, said Sam, putting the letter in his pocket with a gentle sigh, 'it wos to be and wos, as the old lady said arter she'd married the footman. Can't be helped now, can it, Mary? Mary shook her head, and sighed too.
Hows'ever, just at this time I'm very glad they've come, for I'll leave them in charge o' the Fort, and set off to look for the child'n in two days from this. I'll take Walter and Larry wi' me, for brother Jeff is able enough to manage the trade if redskins come; he can fight too, if need be. The Gore family could always do that, so ye needn't be afraid, Molly."
