He had seen a shot-tower in America there was but one in that day that beat it out and out as to height, and he thought in beauty, too. There was no reasoning against this. St. Paul's rather confounded him. He frankly admitted there was no such church at Kennebunk; though he did not know but Trinity, New York, "might stand up alongside of it." "Stand up along side of it!" I repeated, laughing.
"I've soaked in enough salt water. I don't feel as though I should really need a bath again before I get to be twenty-one yet." "Tough on your messmates, Ikey," observed Whistler. "Do think better of such a rash decision." The four boys from Seacove were not alone in being anxious regarding the Kennebunk and their chance of overtaking her.
Thompson, and Flint, and Short, and Stimson, four capital fellows in their way, came from the main; the last, it was said, from as far east as Kennebunk. No matter; they were all reasonably young, hale, active fellows, with a promise of excellent service about every man of them.
Patrick's piper that played the last snake out of Ireland! I've shed me blood for Uncle Sam! That is something you garbies haven't done. And, oh, goodness! Ain't I hungry just!" Because of the repairs necessary to the Kennebunk she was ordered home; but to the delight of the four Navy boys they, with Hertig and Mr. MacMasters, were not to go with her.
"By the way," Whistler suddenly observed, drawing an official looking letter from his pocket. "Did I tell you I got this?" "No," said Torry. "What is it?" "Hurray!" yelled Frenchy, the quick-witted. "It's our assignment to the Kennebunk, I bet you!" "Is that right, Whistler?" asked Torry. "That's what it is," admitted Morgan. "We're to report, however, to Mr.
The change from the huge Kennebunk to the comparatively tiny steamer was great indeed; and for the first few hours of the run shoreward the boys were afraid they would be ill. There was a heavy swell on, and the tender rode up the hill of each roller, and slid down the other side, dizzily. They were two hundred miles off shore and three hundred from Hampton Roads.
"I believe the Kennebunk has got new orders," Whistler rejoined thoughtfully. "Whether or not they are for her to sail for the other side, I don't know. I heard a hint about it when we came aboard the cutter." "Crickey! Let 'em hit it up, then," urged Torry. "If this little old tub doesn't go fast enough I'll jump overboard and swim!" "Oi, oi! Not me!" objected Ikey Rosenmeyer.
Put back upon her course, the S. P. 888 was soon beating her way through the cross-seas "bucking the briny" the boys called it toward the port from which the Kennebunk was to sail in the morning. It was a wild night. The peril through which the ship's company had just passed, and from which Philip Morgan had been able to save them, made the threatening aspects of sea and air seem small indeed.
But my information is new stuff. I am assigned to the Kennebunk and you four boys are to go with me." "Hurray!" shouted Torry, unable to suppress his delight. "That will sure please my papa," declared Ikey, with a broad smile and twinkling eyes. "It sure will." "But how about the Colodia, sir?" asked Whistler anxiously. "That's right!
The cutter must reach a certain point in the open ocean to meet the superdreadnaught; if they missed her, in all probability the party from the Kennebunk would have to be returned to port and be assigned to some other duty for the time being. "Oi, oi!" groaned Ikey when he heard Whistler's report. "I never did have any luck.
