"You're coming apart, Tom. Go in and get some sleep!" "I was sleepin', till a empty whiskey bottle come sailin' through the air an' hit me on my hand." A cold shiver crawled up the engineer's spine, but he turned to unhitch the horse, saying casually: "You'll have blue mice sailing through the air if you don't sober up." "Don't be in a hurry," hiccoughed Tom.
A lean, wind-browned man with keen black eyes came aft to the tiller where Jeremy and Tom stood with the Captain. It was Isaiah Hawkes, Job's first mate, himself a Maine coast man. "It's all clear sailin' ahead, sir," he said. "No more reefs or islands 'twixt this an' Cape Cod, if they follow the course they're on."
"Why do you say that, Betty?" Louise hesitatingly asked the old woman. "'Cause I've knowed Cap'n Abe for more'n twenty year, and in all that endurin' time he's stuck as close to shore as a fiddler. With all his bold talk about ships and sailin', I tell you he warn't a seafarin' man." "But what has Uncle Amazon to do with the mystery of his brother's absence?" demanded Louise. "Humph!
A light-house stood here, upon which they had come so suddenly that, before they were over their first surprise, they were almost near enough to toss a biscuit ashore. "Wal, now, I call that thar pooty slick sailin," exclaimed Captain Corbet, glancing at the lighthouse with sparkling eyes.
As for Isaiah Chase, his list was so lengthy and varied that the responsibility quite overwhelmed him. "Gosh t'mighty!" exclaimed Isaiah, desperately. "I'll never be able to live up to all them sailin' orders and I know it. I've put some of 'em down on a piece of paper, but I ain't even got them straight, and as for the million or two others whew!
And Cap'n Nazro he takes the Huntress in, and then goes straightway and sends a telegraft to the lady and gentleman, sayin' as Cap'n January has sailin' orders, and they please to come and take the child, as lawfully to them belongs. And you, Bob, " the old man's steady voice faltered a little, as he laid his hand on the other's arm, "you'll do all you can, well I know.
He had a shamed sense of intrusion into privacies. "It's very interestin' to see a boat goin' out to sea," Mr. Quinn was saying. "I used to come down here many's a time when I was a young fellow just to watch the steamers goin' out. Did you ever stan' on top of a hill an' watch a boat sailin' out to sea?" "No, I don't remember doing that!" "It's a fine sight, that!
YOU'RE TOO MANY FOR ME!" He tore out some of his pretty yeller hair, stampt on the floor sevril times, and was gone. Sixteen long and weary years has elapst since the seens narrated in the last chapter took place. A noble ship, the Sary Jane, is a sailin from France to Ameriky via the Wabash Canal. A pirut ship is in hot pursoot of the Sary.
The stroke of the oars was listless, but a Boston sailor of a merry sort came to a cheery song: "I knows a town, an' it's a fine town, And many a brig goes sailin' to its quay; I knows an inn, an' it's a fine inn, An' a lass that's fair to see. I knows a town, an' it's a fine town; I knows an inn, an' it's a fine inn But O my lass! an' O the gay gown, Which I have seen my pretty in!
An' up overhead a huge cigar-shaped balloon, an' then an airplane sailin' swift an' buzzin' like a bee. Them was the first air-ships I ever seen. No wonder Jim wanted to " Anderson's voice broke a little at this juncture and he paused. All was still except the murmur of the running water and the song of the insects.
