Nor must we forget the captains of the rusty little schooners that bring firewood from the British provinces; a rough-looking set of tarpaulins, without the alertness of the Yankee aspect, but contributing an item of no slight importance to our decaying trade.

But the car was past the spot in a moment. "Somebody was watching us, and dodged back," declared Helen, anxiously. "Oh, nonsense!" laughed her brother. But before they took the next turn they looked back and saw two men standing in the road, talking. They were rough-looking fellows. "Gypsies!" cried Helen. However, they saw nobody else for a few miles.

They, as well as Monte-Cristo's children and the Nubian, had been suddenly seized by a party of rough-looking Greeks, evidently a portion of Benedetto's band.

I turned and observed that the shout was uttered by a broad rough-looking jack-tar, a man of about two or three and thirty, who had been sitting all the forenoon on an old cask smoking his pipe and basking in the sun. "Hallo!" said he again. "Well," said I.

A rude sail was hoisted, but it flapped lazily against the slender mast.
