Sam whooped, and Penrod, in spite of his great depression, uttered a few jibing sounds. "I'd get MY father to buy me a fire-engine and team o' HORSES," Sam bellowed, "only he wouldn't!" "Listen, can't you?" cried Roddy. "I mean he would most any time, but not this month.
"You had some purpose?" she persisted, studying him. "I see seem to feel it now. It all you were incomprehensible. I mean, when I saw you again that first time, in New York, after so long " "It was funny, wasn't it?" he said with rather strained lightness. "The Chariot of Concord What's the Matter with Mother? the gaping or jibing crowd then you, going by "
The wind being exactly south, by steering due north, or dead before it, it was found possible to carry the sail in the other canoe, borne out on the opposite side; and from the moment that was opened, all the difficulty was reduced to steering so "small," as seamen term it, as to prevent one or the other of the lugs from jibing.
If a person only sat on porches, in chairs, how often did white dresses need doing up? Miss Theodosia interpreted the sigh and look. "Oh, I've three of them rolled up in my trunk; aren't three enough to begin on? And shirtwaists I'm sure I don't know how many of those. I'll go and get them now." In the hall she stopped at the mirror, jibing at the image confronting her.
Now, if there is any change you lean forward and touch me; I shall wake in a moment. If the sail should shift over to the other side all you have got to do is to shift this sheet to its fastening on that side. With this light wind jibing does not matter at all, but if the wind freshens wake me at once."
All about the house, with its numerous corners, turrets, gussets, and corbie-stepped gables, the fury of the world rose and wandered, the fury that never rests but is ever somewhere round the ancient universe, jibing night and morning at man's most valiant effort.
"Is it the derelict?" asked Jerry, appearing in the companionway. "I don't know," answered Ned. "It looks like some sort of a ship, but I'm afraid to be positive, because we've had so many false alarms." "It's some sort of a ship," remarked Mr. De Vere suddenly as he passed the glasses to Jerry. "I make it out to be a brig, and, from the way it is jibing about, it seems to be under no control.
Steady there!" he continued, to the man at the tiller; "mind your weather-helm, my man, or you'll be having that mainsail jibing over, and I need not tell you what that means in a breeze like this. Don't meet her quite so sharply; if she seems inclined to take a sheer to starboard, let her go; I will take care that the brig does not run over us.
He was with him when, halfway to the street, Eugene Martin passed them, in his buggy, stopped further on and called to them: "Ride?" He was not laughing now, he was not jibing. He seemed to be constrained to ask them to ride, they were hurrying so. Raven threw a curse at him, but Tenney broke into a limping run and jumped into the tail of the wagon and sat there, his legs dangling.
They showed him how to sail the craft nicely to windward, without the sail shaking; how to run off the wind, with no danger of jibing her; how to reef with safety, and how to watch the water for signs of squalls. He, in turn, told them good stories of the Fishing Club; and, as he really did know how to fish, he returned their instruction with lessons in this art.
