"I told you that I had business with you." "I have very little time at my disposal," said Ray, pulling out an elegant gold watch a Jurgensen and consulting it. "I think it may be well for you to spare me a little time," went on Bolton, quietly. There was something in his tone that sounded like a threat, and Stephen Ray could not wholly conceal his uneasiness.
It happened however, unluckily, some weeks afterwards, that she had just been talking to some of them when he returned from an expedition to Notterö to hire a crew for his next voyage to Amsterdam, on which she was to accompany him. "Herr Jurgensen and his wife," she said, "had just passed, and she had been talking to them; they were to start for Frederiksvoern on the following day."
Why don't you become a boat-steerer?" "Too clumsy," laughed the Englishman, "and too slow." "Little that counts, one way or the other," joined in Dane Jurgensen, coming to the aid of his Scandinavian brother. "Emil is a man grown and an able seaman; the boy is neither."
This was an elegant pier-glass, into whose depths he was accustomed to gaze in self-admiration. He was flashily dressed in a heavy coat, buff waistcoat, and drab trousers. A gold chain of fabulous weight hung around his neck and held his Jurgensen repeater.
The boys were walking away when the man interrupted them hastily with: "I am in search of a watch which has been stolen.

"She who was so kind to me," she stopped here, and the colour came and went in her face as she continued "it was she who married Beck's son the lieutenant."
"Little that counts, one way or the other," joined in Dane Jurgensen, coming to the aid of his Scandinavian brother. "Emil is a man grown and an able seaman; the boy is neither." And so the argument raged back and forth, the Swedes, Norwegians and Danes, because of race kinship, taking the part of Johansen, and the English, Canadians and Americans taking the part of Chris.

"I'll tell you in a moment. You say it was a lady's watch?" to Jack. "Yes, and a very handsome one. It is a Jurgensen with a gold case set with diamonds. I understand these watches are very valuable."
