I was coming into town from across the bay; I had hired a Spaniard to bring me across in a small sailboat, and the tide carried us down too far, so I told him to land and I'd walk back to town, rather than tack back. And these men met me, and tried to rob me! This man," he accused excitedly, pointing a rageful finger at Swift, "was going to stab me in the throat when he saw I resisted.
"You had better do as we ask you to do or you may regret it," put in Phyllis. The sailor appeared not to have heard her threat. "Don't speak to him, Phil. He isn't worth wasting words over." The sailboat was evidently making for the land. The long line of a pier was faintly visible. A few lights shone along a strange shore. It was plain that Captain Mike meant to land at this pier.
The last time she looked up from the waves she could catch only a glimpse of the boat far ahead. It seemed incredible. It was too awful to believe. The stranger she had left on board the sailboat was not coming to their aid. He was deliberately taking their boat to shore, leaving them to the mercy of the sea. Even with this realization Madge did not give up the battle.
In another moment the sailboat had capsized, the mast nearly snapping in the blow over. "Make haste -do!" cried Mrs. Meade, rising in the steamer. But the steamer was already under increased headway, and the helmsman had to make but a slight turn to bear down directly to the scene of the disaster.
I wish we'd never seen him, or his sailboat either." "Annie," remarked her father a little reprovingly, "if we live by the water, Ford will go out on it, and he had better do so in good company. Wait a while." Annie was silenced, but it was only too clear that she was not entirely convinced.
When all was ready he went ashore and shouted for the Cripple and the Son of the Fool, who at once appeared out of the dusk, and were put on board the sailboat by him. Then he pulled himself ashore and moored the tub to a ring in the pier. It was time for supper. Bastianello would be waiting for him, and Ruggiero went home.
As I walked down the road, a sailboat put out from the shore and slowly disappeared round the island in the direction of the Grand Narrows. It had a small pleasure party on board. None of them were drowned that day, and I learned at night that they were Roman Catholics from Whykokornagh.
Watson wouldn't do a thing like that! He was looking after the ropes of the sail, or doing something to the steering rudder, and that's why he didn't see you and Freddie." "What makes an ice-boat go?" asked Freddie. "The wind blows it, just as the wind blows a sailboat," explained Bert, looking down the lake after the ice-boat. "But it hasn't any cabin to it like a real boat," went on Freddie.
This is Beach Cliff, where we have to take a sailboat to Killykinick. And," Dud went on, with deepening disgust, "I bet it's that old tub that is signalling to us now." Dan's eyes, following Dud's sullen gaze, saw, among the gaily painted pleasure craft moored at the wharfs, a clumsy little boat with rusty sides and dingy sail.
It was just as well they had not taken it, for suddenly the man was seized with an idea. "Git into my rowboat," he ordered Phil and Madge. "I am going to put you aboard my sailboat and carry you home to your friends. You had better take my offer. You'll only get into worse trouble if you stay around here.
