The sail could not be pulled in, as the vessel had too much way; and while they were ineffectually employed about it, the flash of a gun was seen to windward; and as the report reached our ears, the shot whistled over our heads, and darted like lightning through the boom mainsail. "Hurra for old England," said Thompson; "the fellow that fired that shot shall drink my allowance of grog to-morrow."
Then, as one man, that great multitude gave such a sudden, wild, tremendous shout, that it took the roof right off the top of the house, and the wood that fell in every direction outside, was enough to keep the poor people in kindling-wood all winter. The Giant, whirling his iron helmet around his head, now led off, with a thundering "Hip, hip, hurra!" in three cheers for the Queen.
The boats made but slight progress; and when daylight broke, they were close abreast of the huge berg. The doctor was on his feet in a moment, with unusual animation on his countenance. "We must get some of that berg," he said. "Heaven has sent it to our aid. Hurra, boys! We shall now have as much water as we can pour down our throats."
Now, every Murray among them has a weel-stocked mailing, and their kine are weel-favoured; to-night the moon is laughing cannily through the clouds: therefore, what say ye, neighbours will ye ride wi' me to Elibank? and, before morning, every man o' them shall have a toom byre." "Hurra!" shouted they, "for the young laird! He is a true Scott from head to heel! Ride on, and we will follow ye!
Bid her not forget the great oath we took together this morning; she's as much my wife as if we'd gone to church; I'll come back and marry her afore long. Philip said something inarticulately. 'Hurra! cried Carter, 'and I'll be best man. Tell her, too that I'll have an eye on her sweetheart, and keep him from running after other girls.
When the smoke cleared away, we looked in vain for the third and fourth windows, and a tremendous hurra burst forth for old Deaf Smith, as he was called, for the bravest Texian who ever hunted across a prairie, and who subsequently, with a small corps of observation, did such good service on the Mexican frontier between Nueces and the Rio Grande.
"It has been a real ceremony and a delightful one! Here's to the health and happiness of our young equestrians! Hip, hip, hurra!" cried the master of the ranch, with a boyish heartiness that sent the hats of the ranchmen from their heads and their voices echoing the gay "Hip, hip, hurra!" But, despite her happiness, Dorothy's face was thoughtful.
Come on, lads; come on hurra, hurra!" Uttering these shouts, he again leaped out of our encampment, and, beckoning on his followers, they were all once more in pursuit of the flying enemy. Just as he went, Obed handed me a powder-flask and a bag of bullets. "You'll want them, boy, I guess; and I have plenty," said he, as he flew off.
But they were reassured by Margot's familiar summons, and soon the "menagerie" he had suspected was gathered about her. "Whew! It just rains squirrels and chipmunks and birds! Hello! That's a fawn. That's a fox! As sure as I'm alive, a magnificent red fox! Why isn't he eating the whole outfit? And Hurra!"
"I think I see myself dining with the corporation, and the Lord Major of Dublin getting up to propose the health of the hero of El Bodon, Mr. Free; and three times three, hurra! hurra! hurra! Musha, but it's dry I am gettin' with the thoughts of the punch and the poteen negus." "If you go on at this rate, we're not likely to be soon at our journey's end.
