"Sho! when it comes to a time like we've been through to-day, a man, if he has anything but a gizzard in him, must feel as how we're all brothers, every man-jack of us, white men, red men, half-and-half men, whatever we are or wherever we sprung." "A fellow is always hearing that sort of thing," said Neal Farrar to Cyrus.
There happened, too, to be a man-of-war in the harbour, every man-jack, or, rather, every officer-jack of which, with the exception of those on watch and they were to be relieved later on was there, and prepared to enjoy himself with a gusto characteristic of the British sailor-man. The rooms, too, were by no means devoid of beauty, but by far the loveliest woman in them was Mrs. Carr herself.
And ne'er a man-jack of them, you persaive, had the wit to find out where you was off to till meself riz out of me bed to go look. And now, man-alive, git up wid yourself and come along, for it's mortal could here, and there's tons' weight of snow this instiant minyit ready to dhrop down on our heads. Come along. Sure it's niver disthressin' yourself you'd be about ould Blake and his wages?
And it was so; every man-jack of the U-boat's personnel jaded to the marrow with its cramped accommodations, unremitting toil and care, unsanitary smells and forbidding associations having naturally seized the earliest opportunity to escape so loathsome a prison. Lanyard, however, was anything but resentful of condemnation to this solitary confinement.
Following the rabble to the convent, no sooner did he see the mallet and hammer raised than this worthy bourgeois, who himself deserves a monument, shouted, "Hands off, citizens! Yonder reposes no aristocrat, but as good a citizen as any man-jack of you, aye, who had the honour of losing his head for having conspired against a King."
A feller that slept with Bob in the little room cut off at the end o' his store was in the game, an' he had a key an' unlocked the door, an' the solemn procession marched in singin' some sad hymn or other with every man-jack of 'em wipin' his eyes an' snufflin'. Now, that was all well an' good as far as it went, but thar was a traitor in the camp.
Didn't I see a whole ship's crew wance that wos wrecked in the Gulf o' Saint Lawrence about the beginnin' o' winter, and before they got to a part o' the coast where there was a house belongin' to the fur-traders, ivery man-jack o' them was frost-bit more or less, they wor.
I asked them whether they didn't all come out at our big shoots, and whether they didn't have almost as much fun as we did why! the schoolmaster and the postman come to ask to carry cartridges, and everybody turns out, down to the cripples! whether they didn't have rabbits given them all the year round; whether half of them hadn't brothers and sons employed somehow about the game, well-paid, and well-treated; whether any man-jack of them would be a ha'porth better off if there were no game; whether many of them wouldn't be worse off; and whether England wouldn't be a beastly dull place to live in, if people like him" he pointed to Wharton "had the governing of it!
Why, if I was constable, I'd arrest every man-jack of 'em that's dared to put pickaxe or spade in our ground! I'd have the law on 'em, neighbor or no neighbor. Well, they won't find a thing. 'Cept maybe a few chestnuts or such. As for gold Hm-m! But somethin' was found what was it, Monty?" The lad's anger was ebbing, but he was still in an unfriendly mood.
"I wish I knew what it was," muttered Rhinds. "That's just the way every man-jack aboard the submarine boats is feeling about it," jeered Radwin. "Jove, I hope the test, to-day, is one in which we stand a chance to beat the Pollard crowd!" Jacob Farnum had just started from the "Hastings," in a shore boat, when the first gun boomed forth.
