Should I happen to pass the gallows stone, I shall just take a sight with one eye, And think to myself, you may dangle alone, Who now, sir, 's the fool, you or I? Hark! a shot! SPIEGEL. Another! RAZ. And another! The captain! The Nurnbergers deem it the wisest plan, Never to hang till they've caught their man. Da capo. Holla, ho! Holla, ho! RAZ. Roller! by all the devils! Roller! Razman! Schwarz!
There were idle hours by the sea, little excursions in a sail-boat to Penmark, and at last to Point du Raz. It was a beautiful day, with a gentle breeze, and the point was glorified. The boat ran in lightly between the steep dark shore and the comb of reef that looked like a host of stealthy pumas crumbling the water. They anchored in the Bay des Trepasses.
By this time, it was quite dark, and many circumstances increased the enemy's confusion. The Seduisant, seventy-four, ran on the Grand Stevenet, a rock at the entrance of the Passage du Raz, where she was totally lost that night, with nearly seven hundred of her people.
Yesterday he got his sentence, and this morning was dispatched express to the devil! RAZ. Confound it! Does the captain know? SCHWARZ. He heard of it only yesterday. He foamed like a wild boar. You know that Roller was always an especial favorite; and then the rack! Ropes and scaling-ladders were conveyed to the prison, but in vain.
This night the pretty car sped over the range a Cinderella deserted, her linen stored and checked in her closets, her pillows bunked in her seats, and her curtains folded in her uppers, save and except in one single instance Section Eleven, to conform to certain deeply held ideas of the porter, Raz Brown, as to what might and might not constitute a hoodoo, was made up.
"Is this the Lalla Rookh porter?" asked Glover. O'Brien nodded. "Who's your passenger in Eleven back there?" demanded Glover, turning to the darky. "Me?" stammered Raz Brown. "Who's your fare in Eleven in Lalla Rookh?" "My fare? Why, I ain't got nair 'a fare in Lalla Rookh. She's dead, boss." "You've got a woman passenger in Eleven. What are you talking about? What's the matter with you?"
The manoeuvre was good, as he thereby retained his weather-gage and the wreck of his top-mast having fallen over his larboard side, he had his starboard broadside, which was all clear, and directed towards his opponent; moreover, he forced the Aspasia to follow him into the bay formed between the Bec du Raz and the Bec du Chevre, where she would in all probability receive considerable damage from the batteries which lined the coast.
Brother, brother! the letter, the letter! What's the matter? You have grown as pale as a whitewashed wall! CHARLES VON M. My brother's hand! SCHW. What the deuce is Spiegelberg about there? GRIMM. The fellow's mad. He jumps about as if he had St. Vitus' dance. SCHUF. His wits are gone a wool gathering! He's making verses, I'll be sworn! RAZ. Spiegelberg! Ho! Spiegelberg! The brute does not hear.
Then we set our course Northwest for Cape S. Marie, which is distant from Cape Raz 19 leagues, and is on the Eastside of the great bay of Placentia almost at the entrie thereof. In these Isles of S. Pedro there is a faire harbour, which we went into with our barke, and found there 2 ships of Sibiburo fishing for Cod: where we stayed 2 dayes, and tooke in balest for our ship.
But to pursue our subject, where did I leave off? RAZ. You were going to tell me about your stratagems. SPIEGEL. Ah, yes! my stratagems.
