I was all struck up of a heap when I see'd the last lot I got from the States; I was properly bit by them, you may depend; they didnt pay cost, for I couldn't recommend them with a clear conscience, and I must say I do like a fair deal, for I'm strait up and down, and love to go right ahead, that's a fact. Did you ever see them I fetched when I first came, them I sold over the Bay? No, said Mr.
'I see'd 'em plain enough, tho' they didn't see me I wor keepin' snug agen 't wall it wor a moonlit night, that, he says. 'Well, I says, 'an' what now? 'Why, he says, 'd'yer think I could get owt o' this reward for tellin that theer? So I thowt pretty sharp then, d'ye see, mister. 'I'll tell yer what, mi lad, I says.
Verner, Frederick Massingbird, and Tynn came hastening forth. Mr. Verner followed, feeble, and leaning on his stick. Frederick Massingbird seized upon the boy, questioning sharply. "Rachel Frost's a-drowned in the Willow Pond," he reiterated. "I see'd her." A moment of pause, of startled suspense, and then they flew off, men and women, as with one accord, Frederick Massingbird leading the van.
They know'd me, did the little critters, when they seed me, and they know'd I never had hurt one on 'em, my balls never givin' 'em a chance to feel what was the matter of them; but Pat they didn't know, and they see'd he warn't the man to handle 'old Bull-Dog. I used to call my rifle Bull-Dog, cause she always bit afore she barked.
I'll do my best for him. I never lose hope of a man, after what I've see'd in my experience, till the breath is fairly out of him." "Thank God for these words, Ben." "Yes," continued the scout, "and your friend Brooke is at this moment sunk in the blue dumps because you have been carried off by a great mysterious monster!" "Then he doesn't know it was you?" exclaimed Leather. "In course not.
The fact is, that I've see'd something as I didn't expect to see whilst I was away up aloft there," pointing with the stem of his pipe backwards over his shoulder toward the mountain "and the sight has disturbed me a little and set me thinkin' a good deal." "Indeed," said I, "what have you seen, Bob?
I've see'd a brig, with my own two eyes, squeezed together a'most flat by two big floes of ice, and after doin' it they jist separated agin and let her go plump down to the bottom. Before she was nipped, the crew saved themselves by jumpin' on to the ice, and they wos picked up by our ship that wos in company."
"Let's get a few on 'em into the canoe at once't, and whilst we're working I can be telling ye what I've see'd from my perch up aloft there. It won't take very long in the telling. In the first place, two boats has been right to the south eend of the island.
"More nor that, sur," burst in the impatient and indignant Rooney, "he would 'ave gone into that there room, sur, if I may miscall a dark closet by that name an' 'ave pulled the bed out from under Mrs Timms, who's a-dyin', sur, if I 'adn't chanced to come in, sur, an' kick the spalpeen into the street, as you see'd."
I went down to Matanzas in the Fulton Steam Boat once well, it was the first of the kind they ever see'd, and proper scared they were to see a vessel, without sails or oars, goin right straight ahead, nine knots an hour, in the very wind's eye, and a great streak of smoke arter her as long as the tail of a Comet. I believe they thought it was old Nick alive, a treatin him self to a swim.
