The master's a man of peace, but between you and me" the old fellow sank his voice to a whisper "I've got stowed away, unbeknown to him, four tidy little guns; real beauties they are, if small. You shall help me to use 'em on the Mounseers, if they won't leave us alone." To a lad of George Fairburn's stamp such a prospect was glorious.
From all I can hear, the Woman was known for speed in her time, all through the fleet. You can feel she's fast, and see it, if you've half an eye: and the way she travels between the strokes is a treat. The Mounseers can build boats. But oh, my dears, you'll have to pull and stay the course, or in Saltash the women take second place for ever!"
'Well, I says, 'that's just what it is wi' Bony. I'll not deny but he may be a bit cliver he's no Frenchman born, as I understand but what's he got at's back but mounseers?" Mr.
'I thought you were dead and gone? "'And I thought you were the same, said I, 'and no mistake. "'Alive and hearty though, as you see, Pilot; only a little at sea amongst the mounseers.

But here we are all right, and instead of being ashamed of ourselves we can look the mounseers full in the face and tell 'em that if they can manage a better bit of seamanship than the skipper, they had better go and show us how."
I heard that traitor Irishman shoot a bolt before he went away." "Look here," replied Bill, pointing towards the bed. "Why, that's a bed," said Jack. "It was very good-natured in the mounseers to give it us to sleep on." "What do you think it's made of?" asked Bill. "Why, sheets and blankets and ticking," replied Jack.
