It weighs heavy on my heart, I assure ye, for it's only three months since I was pressed myself, an' the feelin's ain't had time to heal yet. Come, I'll tell 'e how it was. You owe me some compensation for that crack on the nose you gave me, so stand still and listen." Bill, who was becoming interested in his messmate in spite of himself, smiled and nodded his head as though to say, "Go on."
Being a clear-sighted woman, she may have suspected why the smooth-tongued young gentleman had praised his noble messmate. "But how did the Wolf and her prize manage to escape from the enemy?" asked Lady Julia. "Pray go on and tell us, Mr Voules."
On turning sharp round a corner, he ran against two men, one of whom swore at him, but the other cried "Hallo! messmate, yer musical the night. Hey, Captain Ogilvy, surely I seed you an' Ruby slinkin' down the dark side o' the market-gate half an 'oor ago?" "Mayhap ye did, an' mayhap ye didn't," retorted the captain, as he walked on; "but as it's none o' your business to know, I'll not tell ye."
In doing this, he silenced the fire of two enemies; but, wrote Nelson, "disdaining the parade of taking possession of beaten ships, Captain Collingwood most gallantly pushed on to save his old friend and messmate, who appeared to be in a critical state, being then fired upon by three first-rates, and the San Nicolas, eighty."
And when both of them had thus silently composed and strengthened themselves, they gave each other the hand, as a token that they wanted once more to recognise each other. "Welcome hither," said Zarathustra, "thou soothsayer of the great weariness, not in vain shalt thou once have been my messmate and guest.
I rose slowly, and, with the customary malignity of one rudely wakened from sleep, began to feel a grim satisfaction in seeing my messmate robbed of his repose in turn. "Cold pig?" suggested Smith. "No, no; don't," I said. "It makes the place so wet." "All right. Come here, then." I was about to join him, when the peculiar vibration going on made me turn sharply to Smith. "Hallo!" I said.
"When the Proserpine sank, we was on her port quarter, aboard the cutter, was me and my messmate Tom Welch. "We saw two auger-holes in her stern, about two inches diameter. "Them two holes was made from within, for the splinters showed outside. "She was a good ship, and met with no stress of weather to speak of, on that voyage. "Joe Wylie scuttled her and destroyed her people. "D n his eyes!" Mr.
"We must treat him with all consideration." Curiously enough, this remark of my messmate kept continually running in my head, and I could not help repeating it. We had plenty to do to bury the dead, wash the decks, repair the masts, and spars, and bulwarks, and to splice the rigging, and bend fresh sails.
Pellew insisted upon accompanying his messmate, and the two lads of fourteen, aided by some of the lieutenants, secured a passage home. It shows a pleasing trait in our hero's character that, some years afterwards, he advanced materially the professional fortunes of the son of the officer who had thus abused his authority.
"Ching see big junk." There was a dead silence, and we all strained our eyes to gaze up-stream. "Can't see nought, messmate," was whispered. "Yes; big junk come along." Plash! and a creaking, rattling sound came forth out of the darkness. "It is a big junk," said Mr Brooke, with his lips to my ear; "and she has anchored."
