In case this should happen, they have small storm sails, and a rudder to steer the vessel. When this does happen it is a serious matter, not only to those on board, but still more so to any ships approaching the spot, and expecting to find guidance from the light. Standing on, we passed close to the Bembridge or Nab Light-vessel.
"What a gallows-bird!" said Pere Canquoelle to his neighbor Monsieur Pillerault. "Pshaw!" said Monsieur Camusot to all the company, for he alone had expressed no astonishment, "it is Contenson, Louchard's right-hand man, the police agent we employ in business. The rascals want to nab some one who is hanging about perhaps."
"As I remember, there's a low ridge on the north side, and a big clump of mesquite on the right just before you leave the flats." "Well, you'll be with us to act as guide. I wish we'd had an hour's earlier start, though. It won't be any cinch traveling through these mountains in the dark. Still, at the worst, we can count on Dick Jordan's bunch to nab them as they come out." Buck nodded.
"I can't let him nab me, too. You will want me now, Mrs. Travers," he had said; "and I promise you not to fire off the old thing unless he jolly well forces me to." He was youthfully wise in his resolution not to give way to her entreaties, though her extraordinary agitation did stagger him for a moment.
"A great deal depends on, how the land lies and what success we strike in making our approach you know how it is with all golfers approach means a whole lot to them. But if we have the good fortune to nab our man after making certain we have plenty of convincing evidence to be used against him, why there's our boat ready to spirit him away before his gang can forcibly take him off our hands."
"I had a fair view of his face, and as I have seen him every day for the last year, of course I couldn't fail to recognize him. The squatter is sitting on the porch smoking his pipe. Now, how shall I go to work to nab him? That's the question." "Ride straight up to him and tell him that you want him," answered George. "I know of no easier way.
Strange to say, he fully believed what Smallbones had asserted about his being carried out by the tide to the Nab buoy and he canvassed the question in his mind, whether there was not something supernatural in the affair, a sort of interposition of Providence in behalf of the lad, which was to be considered as a warning to himself not to attempt anything further.
Charge with me the moment the leaders yell. You men to the right," he added, slightly raising his voice, "be ready to jump with me. Don't shoot anybody that doesn't show fight. Nab everything in sight." "Whoo-oop!" All in a second the mountain woke, the welkin rang, to a yell of warning from the lips of the leading Sioux. All in a second they whirled their ponies about and darted back.
"What's them fellows done for you that you protect them?" demanded the other. "What good'll it do you if we hang you and let them escape?" But Peter only screamed and wept the louder. "They'll have time to get out of town," persisted the other. "If you speak quick we can nab them all, and then I'll let you go.
Then we'll keep up the sentinel business all day to-morrow, if necessary, Letstrayed and I relieving each other, till we finally force that robber to come out and beg for food, when we'll nab him! How does that sound for a scheme?" "It listens well, Holmes, that is, if Letstrayed doesn't make a mess of it," said the Earl musingly. "Woe to him if he does, I can tell you."
