Mivins; with this prompt advice that excellent gentleman again betook himself to slumber. The conversation exhibiting these unequivocal symptoms of verging on the personal, Mr. Pickwick deemed it a fit point at which to interpose. 'Sam, said Mr. Pickwick. 'Sir, rejoined that gentleman. 'Has anything new occurred since last night? 'Nothin' partickler, sir, replied Sam, glancing at Mr.
Captain Guy was busily engaged with Fred Ellice and Tom Singleton in measuring and registering the state of the tide when this riotous band turned the point of the ice-belt to the northward, and came suddenly into view. "Jump down below, Fred, and fetch my rifle and sword; there are the natives," cried the captain, seizing his telescope. "Call all hands, Mivins, and let them arm; look alive!"
I'm none the worse for that, am I? 'Not a bit, replied Mr. Mivins. And he was quite right; for, so far from Mr. Smangle being any the worse for it, he was something the better, inasmuch as to qualify himself for the place, he had attained gratuitous possession of certain articles of jewellery, which, long before that, had found their way to the pawnbroker's. 'Well; but come, said Mr.
They turned tail and fled, followed by the disappointed howls of O'Riley, and also by his cudgel, which he hurled violently after them as he pulled up. Having thus triumphantly put the enemy to flight, the party continued their ascent of the hill, and soon gained the summit. "There it is!" shouted Fred, who, in company with Mivins, first crossed the ridge, and tossed his arms in the air.
Mivins instantly dived down below, as the sailors express it; and we may remark, in passing, that the expression, in this particular case, was not inappropriate, for Mivins, as we have elsewhere said, was remarkably agile and supple, and gave beholders a sort of impression that he went head-foremost at everything.
"Ay, ay, sir!" "Stiddy!" "Steady it is, sir!" Mivins' face, which for some hours had worn an expression of deep anxiety, relaxed into a bland smile, and he smote his thigh powerfully as he exclaimed: "That's them, sir, and no mistake! What's your opinion, Mr Saunders!"
The gale Anchored to a berg which proves to be a treacherous one Dangers of the "pack" Beset in the ice Mivins shows an inquiring mind Walruses Gale freshens Chains and cables Holding on for life An unexpected discovery A "nip" and its terrible consequences Yoked to an iceberg. The narrow escape related in the last chapter was but the prelude to a night of troubles.
"Fetch me the telescope, Mivins," said the captain, calling down the hatchway. "Ay, ay, sir," answered the steward. "Where's my hatchet?" cried Peter Grim, striding about the deck, and looking into every corner in search of his missing implement. "It's my best one, and I can't get on without it, nohow." The captain bit his lip for he knew full well the cause of its absence.
Mivins became quite low-spirited about it, and said "as 'ow 'e'd 'ave a 'eavy 'eart for hever and hever, hamen," after he was gone. O'Riley remarked, in reference to his departure, that every man in the ship was about to lose a "son!" Yes, indeed he did; he perpetrated that atrocious pun, and wasn't a bit ashamed of it.
Fred had intentionally taken Aninga as his model, and had been very successful in imitating the top-knot of hair. The baby, too, was hit off to perfection, having been made by Mivins, who proved himself a genius in such matters. Its head was a ball of rags covered with brown leather, and two white bone buttons with black spots in the centre did duty for its eyes.
