It should be composed of graduates of the Naval Academy, graduates of the Naval Militia, officers and crews of coast-line steamers, longshore schooners, fishing vessels, and steam yachts, together with the coast population about such centers as lifesaving stations and light-houses.
The prophecy that as soon as Posh got his longshore fleet complete he would wish to go on a "lugger," that is to say, to the deep-sea fishing, was destined to be fulfilled, and that with the assistance of FitzGerald himself. But no one ever took Posh's place. FitzGerald's experience as a "herring merchant" began and ended with his intimacy with Posh.
"How now, young gentlemen!" he testily exclaimed; "are you the two midshipmen who sent me this note, informing me that you had captured yonder cock-boat of a felucca?" We respectfully intimated that we were. "Then how comes it, sirs, that you have presumed to come on board me in those 'longshore togs?
With the rise, come the sweepings of the beaches bits of lumber, fallen trees, barrels, boxes, 'longshore rubbish of every sort; sometimes it hangs in ragged rafts, and we steer clear of such, for Pilgrim's progress is greater than that of these unwelcome companions of the voyage, and we wish no entangling alliances. Much tobacco is raised on the rounded, gently-sloping hills below Maysville.
"Where did ye kill, Steeve?" asked a dispirited voice. "We didn't kill at all: he was one of those "longshore dog-foxes, and got away home on the cliff." Stephen thumped his knee. "It's my belief the smell o' sea gives 'em extra cunning." "The beggar seems to have put ye out rether eh, Steeve?"
Conroth ignored the retort, continuing: "I am not amazed, after seeing your surroundings at the Silt place, that you should become familiar with these common longshore characters. But this that I have just learned only this forenoon in fact astonishes me beyond measure; it does, indeed!" "Let me be astonished, too, auntie. I love a surprise," drawled her niece.
A group of Eastern Democrats who were in a position to be affected by the longshore vote, joined with the Republicans in voting for the resolution, and among them Senator Gorman of Maryland, national chairman of the Democratic party. President Cleveland was no more affected by this Senate resolution than he had been by their other resolutions attacking his authority.
Work had ceased for the day, the lumpers and longshore men had gone to their homes, and the usual idlers and loafers, which are always to be found in the immediate vicinity of shipping, or sitting about on the wharf stringers, fishing, had been driven away by the inclemency of the weather, or were gathered in small parties in the bars of the numerous public-houses near by.
"Jews' finery!" shouted the captain, with his fingers on his sword. But the stranger held up a hand deprecatingly. "'Pon my oath, Goble, I gave you credit for more penetration," he drawled; "you may be right about the Scotchman, but your longshore lout has had both birth and breeding, or I know nothing."
No longshore character, as you call him, would be as afraid of the sea as he is. He is playing a part and he plays it just as well as the parts Mr. Hooley gives him to play." "Jove! There may be something in that," murmured the manager. "He got my script some way, I tell you!" declared Ruth. "I am not going to let anybody maul my story and put it over as his own. No, sir!"
