Perspiration rolled down the cheeks of Chok-foo and Ram-stam as they gasped for breath and turned the handles with all the strength they possessed. "Pump oh! Pump for pity's sake." She ended with a wild shriek, for at that moment the waves were cleft alongside, and Rooney Machowl came up from the bottom, feet foremost, with a bounce that covered the sea with foam.
The bag was searched, the token was found, and the gold was immediately handed to them." "Molly, my dear," said Rooney Machowl at this point, "you make a note o' that; an' if ever you have to do with bags o' goold, just putt a brass token or two into 'em." "Ah! Shut up, Rooney," said Mrs Machowl, in a voice so sweet that the contrast between it and her language caused Edgar and Joe to laugh.
He knighted Phipps, who thus became the founder of the house of Mulgrave now represented by the Marquis of Normanby. When Miss Pritty had concluded the letter, Joe Baldwin turned to Rooney Machowl: "What think you, lad," he said, "would you venture down to twenty fathom?" "To twenty thousand fathom, if you'll consint to watch the pumps and howld the life-line," replied the daring son of Erin.
Thereafter the conversation became general, and at last the merchant left the place much shaken in his previous opinion of Irish character, and deeply impressed with the sagacity of Rooney Machowl.
Pretty little Mrs Machowl has prepared it, and is now assisting at the partaking of it. Young Master Teddy Machowl is similarly engaged on his father's knee. The child has grown appallingly during its father's absence! Ram-stam and Chok-foo are in waiting gazing at each other with the affection of Chinese lovers re-united.
In these circumstances a diver became absolutely necessary. Hence the visit of Baldwin and Machowl. "Now then, diver," said the managing engineer of the works to Joe, after he had examined everything above ground with care, "you see it is impossible to pump the well dry, because of the defective pump and the strength of the spring which feeds it.
The result of this visit was that Baldwin was engaged to dive for the cargo of the Seagull, and found himself, a few days later, busy at work on the Welsh coast with a staff of men under him, among whom were our friends Rooney Machowl and surly David Maxwell. The latter had at first declined to have anything to do with the job, but, on consideration of the wages, he changed his mind.
As he disappeared, a similar figure became faintly visible, guiding another box of goods. The box was sent up as before, and now Edgar was convinced that Rooney Machowl and his comrade David Maxwell unlike their sleepy-headed companion were busy at work.
In this dilemma he remained for a short time, occasionally managing to clear himself partially, and at other times becoming more and more involved. At last Rooney Machowl, who was attending to the lines above, bethought him that he had not received any signals for some time or observed any of those motions which usually indicate that a diver is busy below. He therefore gave a pull to the lifeline.
You must know, Mrs Rooney, if your husband hasn't told you already, that we divers, many of us, have our pet schemes for makin' fortunes, and some of us have tried to come across the Spanish dubloons that are said to lie on the sea-bottom off many parts of our coast where the Armada was lost." "It's jokin' ye are," said Mrs Machowl, looking at Joe with a sly twinkle in her pretty eyes.
