Raising his bony arm, he pointed towards the moving fin.
We then heard that he was unable to proceed on the voyage, and had given up the command to a Captain Slack, who made his appearance the next morning. "I don't like his name," observed Dick to me, "but he may be a very good man for all that: still, to my eye, he is very different to Captain Renton, but we shall find out all about him by-and-by."
She was propped up in bed and half bent over, as if she had been broken at the breast bone. Her body whistled with each breath. One of our ambulance corps went out next day to the hospital Dr. Donald Renton.

Now, I advise you, as a friend, to give up selling rum for the future; you see what it comes to, don't you? At any rate, I will not be responsible for the outrages that are perpetrated in my building any more, I will not have liquor sold here. I refuse to renew your lease. In three days you must move."
