The music carried me back to half-forgotten experiences red sunsets between the cathedral bluffs of the Mississippi, and sad-eyed negroes twanging the strings on the forward deck of a nosing steamboat; crisp July afternoons on the Straits of Mackinac when the wind swept in from froth-capped blue Huron, and the little excursion steamer from St.
But if we're going to take Rogers with us to-morrow and leave Ditty in charge here, the rascal might go nosing around an' find them guns." "I hate to leave Ditty in possession of the schooner," returned the captain, with a worried look. "So do I," admitted Tyke. "But after all, it isn't only the schooner he wants.

There, here is the Bensons', where I've got to stop and thank you ever so much, Mr. Smith, if you will." "All right, I'll try," promised Mr.

Steamboats were pushing up and down or nosing into the sand to unload their cargoes; she could hear the creak of hawsers, the bang of gangplanks thrown across to the shore, the cries and songs of stevedores sweating and toiling on the wharf that was piled with bales of cotton, endless blue barrels of oil, and black avalanches of coal.
