And as it was, just when they got haud of my arm to have me out of the fray, I got the lick that donnerit me from a left- handed lighterman." Master George looked to the apprentices as if to demand the truth of this story. "It is just as he says, sir," replied Jenkin; "only I heard nothing about pigs.
Bowen's crew dispersing, Captain White went to Methelage, where he lived ashore with the king, not having an opportunity of getting off the island, till another pirate ship, called the Prosperous, commanded by one Howard, who had been bred a lighterman on the river Thames, came in.
"What do you know of the servants here?" asked the inspector of the constable. "Not much, sir. Six-forty-eight walks out with the cook, I've heard. She's a respectable woman. Her father's a lighterman at Kew Bridge. I know 'em all here by sight, of course. But there's nothing against them, to my knowledge, and I've been a constable in this sub-division for eighteen years."
The offensive antics of a lighterman in mid-stream, who nearly fell overboard in his efforts to attract his attention, he ignored. "I might ha' known it, too," he said, after a long silence.
Paris is a great, mad city on every occasion that it is a great sublime city. There the Carnival forms part of politics. Paris, let us confess it willingly allows infamy to furnish it with comedy. She only demands of her masters when she has masters one thing: "Paint me the mud." Rome was of the same mind. She loved Nero. Nero was a titanic lighterman.

The declaration was, that, by the common law, every lighterman ought so to manage his lighter that the goods carried therein should not perish. "And although no promise laid, it seemed to the court that the plaintiff should recover; and not alleging that defendant was common lighterman was no harm. Hyde, C. J., delivery makes the contract."
He had signalized his arrival in London, some months ago, by going overboard from a police boat into the Thames to rescue a half-drunken lighterman, and when the Humane Society had voted him their medal, he had accepted it only on condition that the presentation was private and kept out of the papers. It was not one but fifty kindly deeds which stood to his credit.
Twins they are, but the likeness is only outside; Bill's 'art is as white as snow." He cut off a plug of tobacco, and, placing it in his cheek, waited expectantly. "White as snow," he repeated. "That's me," said the lighterman, as he pushed his unwieldy craft from the jetty. "I'll tell Sam your opinion of 'im. So long." The watchman went a shade redder than usual.
The river police dragged for him, and the lightermen did all they could for some considerable time, but without success. After fifteen minutes' fruitless search, a lighterman suggested that the boy must be under the pier. He rowed his boat to the other end of the stage, and there saw the boy's hand upright in the water.
