"We'll be in dock the night, and when you're goin' back to Glasgie ye can think of us loadin' her down an' drivin' her forth all for your sake." In the next few days they stowed some four thousand tons dead-weight into the Dimbula, and took her out from Liverpool. As soon as she met the lift of the open water, she naturally began to talk.
"Indade, dear heart, don't I know you've trouble enough of your own, without your loadin' up with Denny's an' mine beside? Ain't I seen how you been put to it the past months to make both ends meet for you an' Gracie, poor child; an' you all the time fightin' to look cheerful an' bright, so as to keep her heartened up?
"Well, how in the name of all that is good, great, and wise did you get that crowbait wished on you?" Old Man Curry threw away his straw and reached for his packet of fine cut, a sure sign that he was about to unburden himself. "He wa'n't wished on me, Frank. Jimmy Miles was stuck with a feed bill, and at the last minute, just as I was loadin' my hosses, he "
"No," Ellis told him; "he's goin' on Cap'n Abe Larkins' boat. They're loadin' up now. They cal'late to get off in a day or two." Jim Taylor nodded, and, having despatched the business with Ellis, he turned to wait upon a customer, for this was store and post-office as well. Mary was surprised to find that every one, young and old was called by the first name; it seemed to her a queer custom.
He gin'rally says, `I not un'r'stan' English ver' well, shakes his head an' grins, but the Cappen never listens to his answers, bein' too busy loadin' and primin' for another broadside." The man to whom he referred cut short the conversation at this point by shouting down the stair: "Hallo! Gillie, you powder-monkey, where are my shoes?"
He stood turning his red eyes up and down the street, as if calculating distances and advantages for future emergencies. And as he looked there came driving into the somnolent square two men on a wagonload of bones. "Old Joe Lynch; he's loadin' another car of bones," Judge Thayer said.
"All sorts o' tings, massa; guns, and pistols, and close. Dis nigger help take de tings out ob her." "What is she doing now in the bay?" "Loadin' wid cotton de steamers fotch down." "Where does she lie now?" "Jes' off de ole Fort Lafitte, whar de water's deep." In less than half an hour the party reached the locality indicated by Job.
"In my judgment that will prove the main point of attack. How many men did the Major have there before we came?" "Same as here, sir." "And four of mine; that makes seven altogether, counting himself, and two of these ought to be posted in the upper story. He's bound to need more; that firing is very steady." "He's got the women loadin' for him, and that helps some." "The women?"
Loadin' in hot haste, I obsarved that the ornithologist sat like a post till that b'ar was within six foot of him, when he let drive both barrels of his popgun straight into its face.
"I guess the darned little critter's got three barrels to his gun somehow; leastwise it seems to me, I swon, 'at he fired her off three times without loadin' I guess I'll quit tryin' to shoot agin Frank, to-day." "I told you so!" said Harry to the Commodore, with a low laugh, and then added aloud "I think you may as well, Tom for I don't believe the fellow will miss another bird to-day."
