The Noise onboard the Kingston was now a little ceas'd, and Captain Trevor, who was on the poop with a speaking Trumpet to hale the Severn, by good Luck heard her hale him, answering the Kingston, and asking the Name of the other ship, prevented the Damage.
"A man likes to do something useful at times like this it's just our instinct," he added as if explaining something more for his own satisfaction than hers. "I'm not a seaman I'd only get in peoples' way messing round the boats before they were ready so I reckoned I'd pick up your candies." There were very few women onboard, and Cecily found herself the only woman allotted to the jolly-boat.
"My man said an attempt was made on his life. Have you taken an Arab onboard?" "I have some mad English on board," said the captain, gruffly; "and I will see they do not stay on longer than I can help." "As to that we will see." The captain nodded his head and signaled full speed ahead, turning his back on the Englishman. "I think we can manage the lot," said Compton, coolly. Mr. Hume laughed.
Can't wait for liners in these times." "You don't say so!" "Tigers, eh?" said Rogers. "Wish I was you! But is it safe? Looks uncommon flimsy, what!" "I hope for the best, but I haven't got a minute to spare. Sorry I can't have a go at your pads again, Hawley. Finished, Roddy?" "All complete, mister." "All the stuff onboard?" "Yes." "Well, Mr. Jones, is it? Much obliged to you.
"Ay, those Spaniards have many an act of outrage and cruelty to avenge," observed the captain. "Their blood is up now; I never saw them fight so bravely." The spectacle greatly increased the eagerness of all onboard the frigate to take part in the work.
The dawn came slowly across the sky, as if apprehensive of what it might behold on the face of the troubled waters; in the growing light the survivors of the Destroyer's crew saw a crippled German Cruiser trailing south at slow speed. Only one gun remained in action onboard the Destroyer, and round that gathered the bandaged remnant of what had once been a ship's company.
Owen, from the first set to work to learn the names of all the sails and ropes, indeed of everything onboard. There were several other boys apprentices of whom two were called midshipmen, although they had to do the same duty as the rest. Captain Aggett had entered Owen as an apprentice, but he was looked upon as the captain's guest, and only mixed with the others when on duty.
Josiah Crabtree continued his paddling, and presently put down his feet very gingerly. He could just touch the bottom. Soon he was in a position to walk, and lost no time in getting out of the lake and coming up to the bow of the Wellington. "Oh, dear, this is dreadful!" he groaned, with a shiver. "Throw out a plank that I may come onboard."
Onboard the "Thisbe" the carpenters were busily employed in patching up some of the boats, so that the prisoners might be removed from the prize, while the rest of the crew were engaged in clearing away the wreck of the masts, and in preparing to make sail on the ship. Ronald was in attendance on his father in his cabin.
But we're going through with it, old man, like Britons." "That's right," agreed the Paymaster. "We shall think of you, James, and the Commander, and the P.M.O., and all our happy messmates who are staying onboard for the refit. It makes going on leave easier to bear when we think of your smiling faces." Thorogood turned away. "You're funny little fellows, aren't you?" he said dourly.
