For all our hard rowin' and wastin' of arrows we've failed to catch or kill a single seal, though there's such swarms of 'em all about.
"That ain't a dory or a skiff," shouted Ben, raising his voice as I pulled away from him. "Way she sets out of water I'd call her a lap-streak dingy. If that feller's takin' his girl out rowin' he'll have to work his passage home against this tide . . . Well, so long, Ros. Come again." I nodded a goodby, and settled down for my long row, a good deal longer this time on account of the ebb.
Honest, I thought they was goin' to mix it yesterday. I breezed up wit' a bottle an' they kinda cooled off." "Doble drunk?" "Nope. Fact is, they'd trimmed a Greeley boob and was rowin' about the split. Miller he claimed Doble held out on him. I'll bet he did too." Dave did not care how much they quarreled or how soon they parted after he had got back his horse.
"'I'm stuck out here in the middle of the crick. And there's a flood on. Help me, can't you? "Next minute I was aboard the dory, rowin' her against the tide up the channel. Pretty quick I got where I could see him through the fog and dark. The auto was on the flat in the middle of the Cut-through, and the water was hub high already.

"They do that sometimes." Here he looked at Doc Coffin's body lying humped over the table, an arm hanging free, the head resting on the table-top. "Were they rowin' together?" was the Judge's next question.
"Can I keep it, truly?" "'Course. I brought it for you," Theo answered, his round, freckled face reflecting the boy's delight. "But I must scoot. Folks'll be rowin' me if their bread's late." He ran off leaving the sick boy with the flower held lovingly against his thin white cheek, while his eyes followed wistfully Theo's strong, active figure as he hurried away.
Katie hung her head a' the time, and when she looked up, a tear was rowin in her bonny blue een. But ye left the school and the country-side when ye was little mair than seventeen; and the next thing that we heard o' ye was that ye had gane oot to India about three years afterwards.

Already they rowin' half an hour. Get tire' soon." "They've got a spare man to change to," Sam reminded her. He was now as keen to give them the slip as Bela. The mainland ahead promised freedom; not only freedom from his late masters, but freedom from her, too. Looking over their shoulders, they saw the steersman change to one of the oars.
Look how tender he's rowin'. I'll lay my wage and share he's the only man stung up to-day an' he's stung up good." "What'll sting him?" said Harvey, getting interested. "Strawberries, mostly. Pumpkins, sometimes, an' sometimes lemons an' cucumbers. Yes, he's stung up from his elbows down. That man's luck's perfectly paralyzin'. Naow we'll take a-holt o' the tackles an' hist 'em in.
