He said t'other day I was a drunken old swab for which, with my sarvice to him, he lies. A drunken fellow is one who can't, for the soul of him, keep from liquor when he can get it, and who's overtaken before he is aware of it.
Now, the ould one himself, if he had me on the table even, I'd defy to get the truth out of me, if not convanient, and I in the sarvice of a frind." In the pleasure of telling a few superfluous lies it seemed to be necessary that our guardian angel should be indulged; and there she sat on the steps quite at ease, smoking her pipe, or wiping and polishing her oranges.
Do 'ee think, Will'm," continued the sailor, turning to the lad with an inquiring look, "do 'ee think ye can remember that prayer as is in the Church Sarvice, and which I've heerd the frigate chaplain go through, specially after a storm, as speaks about deliverin' us from all dangers by sea and by land? You've heerd it at home in the church. D'ye think ye could gie it as?"
The safety of the roads air a matter of great importance to this camp, as well as to all the other camps in the State, seeing that we air obliged to pay a heavy rate of insurance on our gold being carried down, and have the risk of losing it all if we takes it down ourselves; therefore it air the opinion of this community that you have done them a considerable sarvice, and we are obliged to you."
"Well, ef he arn't a brave chap that thar same Algernon Reynolds then jest put it down as how Isaac Younker don't know nothing 'bout faces," returned the individual in question, in reply to Boone. "I never seed a man with his fore'ed and eye as would run from danger when a friend war by wanting his sarvice." "Ay, he is indeed a clever youth!" rejoined Boone.
It was with some trepidation that he crossed the plank, and got on board, when he recovered himself and looked round. "My sarvice to you, old gentleman," said a voice behind the Dominie. It was that of old Tom, who had just come from the cabin. The Dominie turned round, and perceived old Tom. "This is old Tom, sir," said I to the Dominie, who stared with astonishment. "Art thou, indeed?
If so be he was so kind to you only to make you a slave, why, then, there was no kindness at all, in my opinion: and as for punishment without hearing what a man has to say in his own defence there's ne'er a Tartar in the sarvice but would allow a man to speak before he orders him to strip. I recollect a story about that in the sarvice, but I'm in no humour to spin a yarn now.
An' this way, promising one while and puttin' it off another, she conthrived to get on from one Shrove to another, until near seven years was over and gone from the time when Billy Malowney listed for furrin sarvice.
Let me have my things, and I'll give you a bit o' news, as will be of sarvice to you." He then told me, on my promising him his private venture, that we had not a moment to lose, for that a vessel, just visible on the horizon, was from Smyrna, richly laden; she was commanded by a townsman of his, and bound to the same place.
We laid the old man onto a plank and kivered him with the union jack, and all hands gathered round him, while Mr. Graham read the sarvice. Everythin' went lovely, and just at the proper time we tilted the plank, and he slipped off without a hitch of any kind. Arter the mate finished the readin', he said, 'Men, there's a good man gone arter a long life of great usefulness.
