"Do you know there are twenty or twenty-five boys there? We couldn't make all those costumes!" "That's true," agreed Helen, dismayed. Her dismay soon turned to cheerfulness, however. "Why couldn't they wear an arm band marked SAILOR? They can use their imaginations to supply the rest of the costume." "That would do well enough. And have another group of them marked LONGSHOREMAN."
It drenched the big, old shirt, emptied out the wet handkerchief, and whirled to the floor with a clatter. Then, mumbling another curse, the longshoreman spat, and a large, brown tooth went skipping across the room.
Here is a disaster in the South Seas which will be published all over the country by to-morrow morning and here are two of our fastest battle-cruisers summoned in hot haste from Scotland to be cleaned and loaded for a long voyage. Any child, let alone a longshoreman, could put the two things together.
Harston Peters, age 32, laborer, born in Virginia. James Powers, age 47, sheet metal worker, born in Massachusetts. John Rawlings, age 26, laborer, born in Wisconsin. Michael J. Reilly, age 23, laborer, born in New York. John Ross, age 36, laborer, born in Massachusetts. Ed. Roth, age 31, longshoreman, born in New York. Thomas Savage, age 50, machinist, born in New York.
As the hall door shut at their backs, the priest raised his right hand in a gesture which was partly a salutation, partly a blessing. Startled, Big Tom threw down his knife and rose, instantly on the defensive; and Johnnie and Cis, watching, understood at once that "the Blake matter" was one known to the longshoreman, not welcomed by him, though most important.
He built the fire and cooked a tasty meal toast, with the grease of bacon trimmings soaking it, coffee, and rolled oats and placed it on Grandpa's bed, handy to the longshoreman. Then he shut the bedroom door smartly, as a signal that Big Tom was to have privacy, and returned to his own program.
He could think of only one reason for such strange and suspicious conduct. The books! Could this by any chance be Mr. J. J. Hunter? When Barber came in, it was plain to Johnnie that the longshoreman knew instantly why the man had come. At least he showed no surprise at seeing him there. Also, he was indifferent even amused.
The breath was driven out of his lungs. Dizzily he plunged forward to his hands and knees among the débris on the floor. "Ha-a-a-a-a!" It was a shout of triumph from the longshoreman. But that wallop, hard as it was, had been delivered accidentally. And as Barber, whose eyes were now swelling from the scoutmaster's initial blows, scarcely knew where his opponent was, he failed to seize Mr.
It was a mass of coals. As the longshoreman hung over the fire, his dark face was lit by it. And now lifted in a horrid smile! Cis's voice rose again. Nothing could save Johnnie's books and suit: there was no need to keep silent. "He's a devil!" she cried. "He isn't a man at all! Look! He's enjoying himself! He's grinning! Oh, Johnnie, look at his face!" Johnnie fell back.
We have the plans for a Utopia already made; just give us a bit more time and we'll produce it; trust us; we're wiser than you. For ten thousand years they've said that. We want our Utopia NOW and we're going to try our hands at it. All we want is everything for all of us! For every housewife and every longshoreman and every Hindu nationalist and every teacher. We want everything.
