It was all sort of jerky-like. "'I'm sailin' through starry fields, he says, 'explorin' the wonders of the universe. Why am I called back to earth this way? Doth somebody want to question me about something? "Doc was all worked up. He held onto a chairback, an' he was so shakin' I could hear the loose chair rungs rattle. "'Is this Bacon? he says.
"Whut wus yer in when ye took her?" "The Vengeance, a three-masted schooner, the fastest thing afloat. She's south in West India waters." "Who's the captain?" "Silva Sanchez." "Gawd! Sanchez not not 'Black Sanchez?" "That's him; so yer've heerd o' 'Black Sanchez? Well, we're sailin' 'long with him, all right, mate, an' yer ought ter know whut thet means fer a good man."
Den he had one mo' mile fer ter run, en he feel like he gittin' bellust. Bimeby, ole Brer Tarrypin look way off down de road en he see Jedge Buzzard sailin' long en he know hit's time fer 'im fer ter be up. So he scramble outen de woods, en roll 'cross de ditch, en shuffle thoo de crowd er folks en git ter de mile-pos' en crawl behime it. Bimeby, fus' news you know, yer come Brer Rabbit.
"As I know nothin' whotsomever about the place, I'll take my sailin' orders from you, captain, an' steer a straight course for Anty whatever-she-is arivo, where I hope we'll arrive O! `all alive O! in the course o' time. What say you, Ebony?" "I's agreeable; don't care much for nuffin' when it don't trouble me.
Then he said with a pause between each word: "She's sailin' without her port and starboard lights, Miss Jane. One o' these nights with the tide settin' she'll run up ag'in somethin' solid in a fog, and then God help her! If Bart had lived he might have come home and done the decent thing, and then we could git her into port some'er's for repairs, but that's over now.
So he axed her if she'd mind standin' with the goat and a tambourine for Jephthah's Daughter, at about the time when old Jeph comes home, sailin' in and vowin' he'll kill the first thing he sees, jest as it is in the Bible story.
A whole continint. Anybody that was sailin' by would have noticed it. But, gintilmin, a dinner is a very small thing and they are har-rd to discover, as ivry wan of you lads very will know. Columbus wint out in thray ships, our gallant captain wint out in his undhershirt and a straw hat. I say thray cheers for our gallant captain!"
"If a man was to take a sack of meal and empty it, and spread the sack down flat, he'd have something like this man's town's got to be," Conboy complained. "Dead, not a breath left in it. I saw a couple of buzzards sailin' around over the square a while ago. I've been lookin' to see them light on the courthouse tower."
So one on her boys I guess 'twas the oldest said he was going to take her to sea; there was ample room, an' he was sailin' a good time o' year for the Cape o' Good Hope an' way up to some o' them tea-ports in the Chiny Seas.
There's the entrance to the harbour, with the Esk reefs to the north and the Pearl reefs to the south. The channel's very narrow not more than three cables, if it's that, but there's plenty of water and a good muddy bottom that'll hold. McGuffey, lad, better run below and tune up your engines. It's too dangerous a passage on an ebb-tide for a sailin' vessel, so we'll run in under the power.
