"There are many more Abyssinians, and Giaours, and Vechabites, Bedouins, and Cophs. But all that kind of animal is very uninteresting, and I was glad enough to embark on a Genoese polacca which was loading for the Ionian Islands with gunpowder and munitions for Ali de Tebelen.
Alexis was petrified with astonishment. Pougatcheff went off to inspect the fortress; Alexis followed him; I remained. I ran up to Marie's room. The door was closed. I knocked. "Who is there?" asked Polacca. I gave my name. I heard Marie say: "In an instant, Peter, I shall join you at Accoulina's." Father Garasim and Accoulina came out to welcome me.
The immigrants pouring into Uruguay have run up to over 20,000 a year; the population has increased more than 100 per cent in 12 years; so we shall hear from Uruguay in coming years more than we have done in the past. I left Buenos Ayres for Uruguay in an Italian polacca.
Master of the situation, Ivan Mironoff locked up the maid in the kitchen and assembled us. Basilia came home without news, and learned that during her absence a council of war had been held, and that Polacca was imprisoned in the kitchen. She suspected that her husband had deceived her, and overwhelmed him with questions.
He was prepared for the attack, and stoutly replied to his curious better-half: "You see, my dear, the women about the country have been using straw to kindle their fires; now as that might be dangerous, I assembled my officers, and gave them orders to prevent these women lighting fires with anything but fagots and brushwood." "And why did you lock up Polacca in the kitchen till my return?"
The Alla Polacca for piano and 'cello, op. 3, was composed in 1829, while Chopin was on a visit to Prince Radziwill. It is preceded by an introduction, and is dedicated to Joseph Merk, the 'cellist. Chopin himself pronounced it a brilliant salon piece. It is now not even that, for it sounds antiquated and threadbare.
"Go," said he, at last, with a sigh; "we will not place an obstacle to your happiness. May God give you an honorable husband and not a traitor!" He rose and left the room. Alone with my mother, Marie confided to her, in part, the object of her journey. My mother, in tears, kissed her and prayed for the success of the project. A few days after, Marie, Polacca and Saveliitch left home.
Mr Saltwell had his glass fixed on her, as had Captain Fleetwood. "What do you make her out to be, Mr Saltwell?" said the captain. "She is polacca rigged, with raking masts, and has a long, low, dark hull," answered the first lieutenant. "The very description of the Sea Hawk," exclaimed Linton. "I hope to goodness it may be her."
He thought it was a great deal too much, but did not like to say so. Bowse looked at the stranger before answering. "I only hope she will try to carry a great deal more," he replied. "See, they are beginning to follow our example." The polacca brig had now not only set her foresail and mainsail, but had also shaken another reef out of her topsails.
The Zodiac had left the polacca brig about eight or ten miles astern, and her topsails could just be seen rising and falling above the boiling cauldron of waters which intervened, as she remounted the seas or sunk into the trough between them.
