Three days later, when they were on the outward-bound steamer, Miss Rosa Blair crossed the corridor between her state-room, which she occupied with her maid, to Maria's, and stood a moment looking down at the girl lying in her berth. Maria was in that state of liability to illness which keeps one in a berth, although she was not actually sea-sick. "My dear," said Miss Blair.
The last pintado left us 240 miles within the tropics to follow an outward-bound vessel.
In his outward-bound voyage he discovered an island in the Atlantic, in lat. 8° S. to which he gave the name of Ascension . On his return from India, he fell in with another island in the Atlantic in 17° S. called St Helena, which, though very small, is yet of great importance from its situation.
"All hands wear ship!" comes sharply from Anderson. " you and your orders!" cries some one. "To the boats, to the boats!" Although the Chrysolite carried five boats, no less than four of them were unseaworthy. In those days the examination of an outward-bound ship was slurred over, with the natural consequence that the marine law was more frequently broken than observed.
Letters of marque and reprisal were granted against the Spaniards; a promotion was made of general officers; the troops were augmented; a great fleet was assembled at Spithead; a reinforcement sent out to admiral Haddock; and an embargo laid on all merchant ships outward-bound. Notwithstanding these preparations of war, Mr.
He had written home by the "Stars-and-Stripes" sailed a fortnight later by another vessel been cast away picked up by an outward-bound ship and finally landed in England, he and his partner, as penniless as they left it. "Was your partner an Englishman, then?" said Maud, who sat at the foot of the sofa, listening. "You have not told us anything about him yet." Guy half smiled. "I will by and by.
Was it you, Selvagee! that, outward-bound, off Cape Horn, looked at Hermit Island through an opera-glass? Was it you, who thought of proposing to the Captain that, when the sails were furled in a gale, a few drops of lavender should be dropped in their "bunts," so that when the canvas was set again, your nostrils might not be offended by its musty smell?
A clang of bells and the hooting of an outward-bound liner came up from the city and the port. Richard's calm had returned. His expression had softened. "Will those two marry?" he asked presently. Lady Calmady paused before speaking. "I hope so for Ludovic's sake," she said. "He has served, if not quite Jacob's seven years, yet a full five for his love." "If for Ludovic's sake, why not for hers?"
Jago and passed by the port on the east of it I mentioned formerly which they call Praya; where some English outward-bound East-Indiamen still touch, but not so many of them as heretofore. We saw the fort upon the hill, the houses and coconut-trees: but I would not go in to anchor here because I expected better water on the south-west of the island at St. Jago Town.
There was the Billings Tavern in Roxbury, where it was considered quite the proper thing for outward-bound passengers to alight and get something to fortify them against the fatigues of the journey, especially if the weather were extremely cold or extremely warm.
