They made a tick out of the piece of wagon-cover, filled it with beech leaves, and had a bed which surpassed their most extravagant ideas of comfort in the army. "Shorty," said Si, as they snugged themselves in the first night, "this seems almost too much. Do you ever remember settin' the whole night on a rail, with nothin' over us but clouds leakin' ice-water?"
He stopped rowing long enough to fish about in the water around his feet for an old cornbeef can. "You'd better do some bailin'," he ordered, tossing her the can. "She's leakin' worse since that squeeze." Frona smiled mentally, tucked up her skirts, and bent to the work. At every dip, like great billows heaving along the sky-line, the glacier-fretted mountains rose and fell.
The two vessels had disappeared in the weather; and as Taffy stared in their direction a spit of rain the first took him viciously in the face. He turned his back to it and hurried homeward. As he passed the light-house door old Pezzack called out to him: "Hi! wait a bit! Would 'ee mind seein' Joey home? I dunno what his mother sent him over here for, not I. He'll get hisself leakin'."
"No," said the other. "Flooded with dudes, ain't it?" "Swimmin'," said the first. "Leakin', too," said a third. "Well, my gracious!" said a fourth, and beat his knee in private delight.

"Was Liza full of water?" "I was describin' boats," said Martha. "An' talkin' o' boats, did I tell you we got a new kitten to our house? He's a gray Maltee. His name is Nixcomeraus."

You'se done had to move out'n de front o' de house, count o' de roof leakin', an' you shet up de west wing, so many windows was broke. Soon you-all will be movin' into de kitchen.

Here's the wind makin' into the north-west and the chief whistlin' up half-steam's all he can keep on her!" "Ain't it always something wrong! I told 'em about them boilers that they been leakin' right along. What will we do?" "Only one thing to do now.
Jagged openings showed all along her side, and as she rose on a swell, Job shouted, "See there! She's leakin' now. 'Twas my last shot did that right on her waterline!" "All hands on deck to board her!" came a shout, almost at the same instant. Jeremy hurrying up with the rest found the sloop bearing down straight before the wind, and only a dozen boat's lengths from the enemy.
