It was some time past noon, when I saw Jack's countenance brighten up. "What is it?" I asked. He pointed eagerly to the southward. I turned round, and looked, and there I saw in the horizon a long, thin, well-defined, dark blue line, and in the centre of it a white speck. "A breeze! a breeze!" I cried. "Ay, and a sail, too," added Jack. "She is standing this way. Huzza! my lads."
"Chorus, now " With a whip, snip, high cum diddledy, The cog-wheels of life have need of much oiling; Smack, crack, this is our jubilee: Huzza, my lads! we'll keep the pot boiling.
"What do I say?" repeated the land baron, striving to collect his thoughts. "What why, I'll make it an even thousand, if you ride your own horse, you'll " "Win?" interrupted the proud owner. "No; fall off before he's at the second quarter!" "Done!" said the man, immediately. "Huzza!" shouted the crowd. "That's the way they bet on a gentlemen's race!" jeered the gleeful jockey.
"I think the boats have got the captain, and the rest of them, on board, by the way they pull," shouted Linton, to Tompion, who commanded the cutter. "Tackle them first, and we may pay the other rascals off afterwards. Huzza, my men give way, or they will be into their den before we can get alongside them." "The mistico has tacked," shouted Tompion, in return. "Shall I fire into her?"
Beat a flourish, drummer. Shout for the ensign of New England. Pope nor tyrant hath part in it now." And a loud huzza of independence went forth. With this sentiment confirmed among the people, it is not surprising that the judges who had condemned a papist king Charles I. to the block should find welcome in this land.
But as much as they dread, and of course hate Bonaparte, the British cannot but admire his fortune and his glory. There are a number of Frenchmen yet here; and it is impossible for man to shew more joy at this news from France. They collected together and shouted Vive l'Empereur! and the yankees joined them, with huzza for Bonaparte; and this we kept up incessantly, to plague the British.
Indeed no other so widely recalls to me those whole years of disaster and chaos; the daily shock of their news, crashing in upon the brain like a shell into a roof; wail and huzza, camp-fire, litter and grave; battlefield stench; fiddle and flame; and ever in the midst these impromptu merrymakings to keep us from going stark mad, one and all, as so many literally did.
They are off! No. Back again. Their line was not true in passing the judges' stand. The signal is repeated. Off again. No mistake this time. Whew! how fast they go! The multitude is quiet for an instant, absorbed in eager, breathless watching. Cheers spring up along the line of spectators. Huzza! five girls are ahead. Who comes flying back from the boundary-mark? We cannot tell.
The stories he had heard of men being killed in prize-fights rose up horribly before him. Once only, when the shouts of "Well done, Brown!" "Huzza for the school-house!" rose higher than ever, he ventured up to the ring, thinking the victory was won.
Chorus With a whip, snip, high cum diddledy, The cog-wheels of life have need of much oiling; Smack, crack, this is our jubilee: Huzza, my lads! we'll keep the pot boiling. Jansen and Jemmy Ducks, after the dancing chorus had finished Yack alive and merry my boys, Ven he get him frau And he vid her ringlet toys, As he take her paw.
