Tom laughed sarcastically. Robert tore off his coat and vest and hurled them into a lilac bush. "Come out here, you landlubber," he cried to Tom, "and I'll put grass seed on your back. I think you called me a 'dude' a while ago. Come along and cut your capers." Tom understood the invitation and accepted it with delight.
Take him by the foot and heave him into the sea. Very good idea, Hovey. Is he getting the eyes of the lads too much?" Hovey fenced: "He's a landlubber, and he don't understand sea things. He's better out of the way." "How'll you do it?" asked McTee softly. "Speak out, Hovey. Would you try your own hand on Harrigan?" "Not me! I know a better way.
We're not sailing, and motoring through these rivers and canals is great sport. And then we can go on to Monte and any of those places you like. I've done it before and had no end of a good time. What do you say? Are you on?" "It's jolly decent of you, I'm sure, Hilliard. If you think you can put up with a hopeless landlubber, I'm certainly on."
"Ha, ha!" laughed our ancient friend, the Captain, when he saw what a day it was. "Ha, ha! what a day indeed!" and right away he began to call loudly for his boy, Main Brace, "Main Brace, Main Brace, come here! Come, bear a hand, and be lively there, you plum-duff, chuckle-headed young landlubber, and waddle along aft here on your sausage legs."
Sometimes the vessel is seaworthy enough to lie out and take whatever wind and waves may inflict; but that is usually where much of the charm and comfort of the houseboat has been sacrificed to make her so. Then too the houseboater is usually quite a landlubber after all; so that even if the boat is strong enough to meet an angry sea, the owner's stomach is not.
She cannot leave her mother is another objection, but that I should not ask her to do as a landlubber might," he added sportively, "would in all probability. As much of my life must be spent at sea, it would not be worth while to set up a home of my own on land, if I had a wife who preferred to live with her mother." "Well, sir, that is certainly much in your favor," said Mr.
Tommy, ignorant little landlubber that he was, began to wish that he had stayed at home, but Judy was exalted, uplifted by the thought of a coming battle with wind and waves. She had fought them so often in the little white boat, but one thing she forgot, that she was not as strong as she had been, and that Tommy was not as helpful as her father. The start had been very exciting.
After getting his head leveled somewhat he walked unsteadily to his companions who were leaning on the steamer's rail regarding him with smiling faces. "Sick?" questioned Tad. "No; merely ailing," replied the fat boy. "I wouldn't be a landlubber," jeered Rector. "You would, if you were in my place," muttered Stacy. On through a panorama of changing scenes and colors sailed the "Corsair."
Are ye quite sure, sir, that ye haven't a drop of whiskey convenient? Ye well know that I have many miles of walking before me." "I have none," said I, "and, if you please, I am about to leave for my supper." I pushed my chair back creakingly. This ancient landlubber was becoming as great an affliction as any cross-bowed mariner.
He looks just like any body else, don't he, boys?" "If yees don't travel mighty sudden, I'll make a scatterin' among yer," said the man, between his clenched teeth; "I'll be dog-gone if I don't shoot some o' yer;" and he reached for a long double-barrel shot-gun that stood behind his chair. "Avast, there, you old landlubber," exclaimed Simpson; "just drop that shootin' iron, will you.
