"I kept as good a one as I could the lanterns were over the bows." "You may depend upon it," said the captain, "that the matter will not be permitted to rest as it is. The owners and underwriters will demand a court of inquiry. Mr Rattlin had charge of the forecastle at the time. Mr Rattlin, come here, sir. You sang out, just before this calamity happened, to port the helm." "I did, sir."

"Le's make up the deffisit," and he begun to haul out yaller-boys out of his pocket. "It's a most amaz'n' good idea, duke you HAVE got a rattlin' clever head on you," says the king. "Blest if the old Nonesuch ain't a heppin' us out agin," and HE begun to haul out yaller-jackets and stack them up. It most busted them, but they made up the six thousand clean and clear.

"Whether they have sowls or bodies," replied the narrator, "what I'm tellin' you is truth; every night in the year the ould chap would come for what was indue him; find as the two went along, the noise of the loose shoe upon the horse would be hard rattlin', and seen knockin' the fire out of the stones, by the neighbors and the thief that chated him, even before the Square would appeal at all at all."

Everything, too, seemed to be upon a miniature scale. The house was much smaller, yet there was an air of comfort and of health around, that at first I did not appreciate, though I could not help remarking it. No sooner was I conducted into the passage, than I heard a voice which I thought I remembered, exclaim, "Show Master Rattlin in here, and shut the door."

Stevie D. had curly hair like that and HE was part Portygee, you remember; though there was a little nigger blood in him, too, she says. I could have shook her! And then she went to rattlin' that bag again." Even Mr. Keeler congratulated him at the office next morning. "You done well, Al," he said. "Yes yes yes. You done fust-rate, fust-rate."

An' the servant that was here afore me a clean, good-natured girl she was, in throth an' got married to a blacksmith, at the cross-roads beyant tould me that the scrames, an' yells, an' howlins, and roarins the cursin' and blasphaymin' an' the laughin', that she said was worse than all an' the rattlin' of chains the Lord save us would make one think themselves more in hell than in any place upon this world.

Bless even me!" "Ralph Rattlin, by all that's damnable!" screamed forth the self-convicted impostor. Thus, this apparently imprudent and rash step was productive to me of more service than could have been hoped from the deepest-laid plan. In a moment we were on our feet, and our hands on each other's throats.

There were some idle stragglers looking on, and when I was far, very far from the sport, the fearful shout came along the level surface, of "Help, help, he is drowning!" and with dreadful distinctness, as if the voice had been shrieked into my very ears, I heard the poor lad's bubbling and smothered cry of "Ralph Rattlin!"

For the malicious and ape-like mischiefs that you have done to me and to my messmates though in positive guilt I hold them to be worse than actual felony I forgive you but, interchange the token of friendship with such as you never!" "Ralph Rattlin, I know you!" "Insolent rascal! know yourself; dare to send for me no more. I leave you."

No, when a pardner dies and you set out to take another one, bury the one that has gone right under his own high chair in your heart, don't keep him up there a rattlin' his bones before the eyes of the 2d, and angerin' him, and agonizen' your own heart. Bury him before you bring a new one into the same room.
