He lowered the glass and roared at Neils Halvorsen, who was at the wheel, "Starboard your helm, Squarehead. Don't be afraid of her. We're goin' over there an' hook on to her. I should say she is a pick-up." Mr. Gibney had abdicated as a pirate and assumed command of the S.S. Maggie. With the memory of a scant breakfast upon him, however, Captain Scraggs was still harsh and bitter.
There was just enough to fly him out over the channel if he took off before he used too much. Once out over the channel he might be able to water-crash the P-51 near a British patrol or pick-up boat. The trouble was that the instant the engine began to work the trap would be sprung on him. He had to figure that one out fast. Swen showed up and hung around watching along with the other mechanics.
"I ain't, ain't I? I 'ain't gone through a living hell sitting on the water-wagon for you, have I?" "Try to keep from twitching that way, Blink. You give me the horrors."

We'll have to eat in the kitchen." "Well, let's be about it," declared Landry, "and finish with these curtains afterward. Inwardly I'm a ravening wolf."

He simply edged away from his reviler, who went off to "hedge" his bets, if possible. "He 's a good horse, but he 's out of the race," said one of the gentlemen who had been bantering Miss Ashland.
