Before long out popped a submarine. Aha! A lumber-laden vessel American! The German commander, grinning broadly, stepped into a gig with a bombing crew; torpedoes were not wasted on sailing-vessels.

On September 23 the fine schooner Nantasket of Boston, from Bear River, for the river Plate, lumber-laden, and just through the doldrums, came up with the Spray, and her captain passing a few words, she sailed on. Being much fouled on the bottom by shell-fish, she drew along with her fishes which had been following the Spray, which was less provided with that sort of food.
She had lived to lament three seafaring husbands, and her house was decorated with West Indian curiosities, specimens of conch shells and fine coral which they had brought home from their voyages in lumber-laden ships.

"You can't do that, nuther," replied Sam, gazing earnestly at a lumber-laden schooner ahead of him. "You must; your good heart made you lose five dollars, and I insist upon making it up to you." "You can't do it."
