Not in the least, replied Dr. Slop; for it does not appear on which side of the question it is wrote, it may be a composition of a divine of our church, as well as yours, so that we run equal risques. 'Tis wrote upon neither side, quoth Trim, for 'tis only upon Conscience, an' please your Honours. Trim's reason put his audience into good humour, all but Dr.
When you consider that on the health of your slaves almost your whole voyage depends for all other risques but mortality, seizures and bad debts the underwriters are accountable for you will therefore particularly attend to smoking your vessel, washing her with vinegar, to the clarifying your water with lime or brimstone, and to cleanliness among your own people as well as among the slaves."
Coureurs de risques they ought to have been called, as La Hontan remarks. But taken as a whole they were a vigorous, adventurous, strong-limbed set of men.

A young creature of little more than eighteen years old, wholly unacquainted with fatigue, delicate in her frame, wandering alone on foot in the midst of a strange country, ignorant of the road, or had she been acquainted with it, at a loss where to go to get any intelligence of what she sought, and even doubtful if the person she ran such risques to hear of, yet were in the world or not.
But, being uneasy lest I should be missed, I told him, I could stay no longer. I had already staid too long. I would write to him all my reasons.

Ball would contract with him to pay eighty rix-dollars a ton for the voyage; the Shebander to take all risques upon himself, with respect to the loss of the vessel. As the necessity for a supply of provisions was very great, and as there was no other vessel to be procured, Lieutenant Ball was obliged to make the agreement, and the snow was sent for.
His assiduities; his watchings; his nightly risques; the inclement weather he journeys in; must not be all placed to your account.
