They was all pitchin' plumb on that road, an' each one about fifty to a hundred yards nearer our procession, an' us walkin' straight into the shower too. The swoosh-bang o' each one kep' gettin' louder an' louder, an' not a single one was missin' the road. I tell you, I could feel the flesh creepin' on my bones an' a feelin' in the pit o' my stomach like I'd swallowed a tuppenny ice-cream whole.
Whin all the things was full, Ould Pummeloe marches back into camp 'twas like a battlefield wid all the glory missin' at the hid av the rigimint av women. "'McKenna, me man! she sez, wid a voice on her like grand-roun's challenge, 'tell the bhoys to be quiet. Ould Pummeloe's comin' to look afther thim wid free dhrinks.
He's a good talker when he gets started too, and for such a quiet appearin' chap he can liven up a lot. Must have been goin' into the details deep with her; for they don't come back and they don't come back. I'd read the evenin' papers, and poked up the log fire half a dozen times, and stood around watchin' the bridge game until I nearly yawned my head off; but they're still missin'.
I'll meet yo' whar yo' say, but ef I can git hol' ob some papers dat's missin' I'll take dat grin off yo' face. De odder one laughed, an' de ol' gin'ral started fo' ter ride away, den he pull up he's hoss, an' look back. 'Yo' sorter herd wid dat kind ob cattle, Bartlett, he say, sharp like, 'maybe yo' know a gambler roun' yere called Hawley? De black debble nebber eben lose he's grin.
'Come again. "'I say I'm the priest. This dead poiloo ain't gotta priest nor nothin' and there's his poor mother and her a widow. So I'm that missin' priest, and I'm not too proud to perform free and gratis. Get that? "'Hold on, chief, sez Rathbone. 'You ain't got nothin' to wear. "'Nothin' to wear! I sez. 'You poor cheese, I'm a navy chaplain.
Although he had been to Washington but once in his life before, as a Lincoln elector, Jethro was greeted as an old acquaintance by this clerk also. "Glad to see you, Judge," said he, genially. "Train late? You've come purty nigh, missin' supper." A familiar of great men, the clerk was not offended when he got no response to his welcome.
The worst of it was, that when we come to unpack the sled we did it with an ax because everythin' was frozen solid the census pouch was missin'. Luckily there was no past work in it, only blank schedules, information papers, an' things of that sort.
"Positive, Missin' Links is scarce; they has pretty much their own way. Hold on he's gotter 'aug a bit by one hand from a bar what goes through his cage, an' pretent to be sleepin'." Nickie the Kid had a contemplative expression "Bless my soul," he said, "there are strange ways of earning a living, and I'm not sure that my way is the easiest after all." He drained the bottle.
As one of the men said: "It ain't likely that there'll be any of us missin' in ther mornin', if we stays in our bunks all ther blessed night." And soon after this, eight bells went. The Ghost Pirates At the moment when eight bells actually went, I was in the fo'cas'le, talking to four of the other watch.
You see it's in such shape the body is that there ain't no way of makin' out who the feller was nor whut killed him. There ain't nobody reported missin' in this county as we know of, either; so I jedge a verdict of a unknown person dead from unknown causes would be about the correct thing. And we kin git it all over mighty quick and put him underground right away, suh if you'll go along now."
