Certain references to the pugs put her on the lookout and she and the other women watched me; one of the brutes littered that night; I couldn't resist the temptation, and so fed the whole batch, mother and all, to the lion; in a minute had four furious women afoul of me, biting and clawing; sung out for help, and Shem and Japheth bore down and rescued me; Ham helped the women and made a majority for them; his mother had the jug, that's why; managed to floor him with a pump-brake, but they were still too many for us and chased us around decks till they got tired and sat down to cry; got to my room and began writing them down in the log when they started in again; my wife smashed the whiskey jug over my head then we all escaped on deck and went aloft; couldn't follow us, but sat down and said things Had a council of war, then Shem shinned over to the foremast and cut away all the jib halliards and sheets and halliards on the fore Ark had broached to in trough sea when Japheth left the wheel to help me, and had laid there with yards square and rolling considerable; women could stand that motion, but not a head sea, so now when she came up to the wind and began pounding up and down and drifting astern, they got qualmish and in twenty minutes were sprawled out helpless; Ham didn't know enough to take the wheel and throw her off, so we came down, tied the women hand and foot, and then went for Ham; triced him up and rope's-ended him till his nose bled; begged and howled, but had to take it and learn that mutiny is unsafe aboard my ship Kept her head to the sea till we had spliced and rove off the gear, then set canvas and squared away again Women got better; read the articles to them; were penitent and promised to behave, but before turning them loose we went on a pug hunt and passed two of them in to the lion; only one left now, but we haven't found it yet; women howled a good deal and called us heartless, cruel fiends that's all right.
"This Airley's smart wahn't quite smart enough, though. His bright idea come a little mite late. Hunted up old Christy, got the key to his law office right here in the Duncan Block, went up through the skylight, clumb down to the roof of Randall's store next door, shinned up the lightnin' rod on t'other side, and stuck his head plump into the Opery House window." "I want to know!" ejaculated Mr.
Robert showed him the fruits, woods, and shells, and the pink coral, and bade him observe that the boat was ballasted with pearl oysters. He threw him up one, and a bunch of pink coral. He then shinned up the rope again, and the interrogatories recommenced.
Here we go again. Grasping the handles of the barrow, the lad started on a run with the wounded man. "A shell burst in the road just ahead of him. Quickly dropping his homely vehicle, little Lucien ran for a tree and shinned up it without loss of time. His passenger had slid out into the road when the barrow tipped over on its side. "'Herr Officer, who did that? "'It was a Prussian shell.
One season a wood duck laid her eggs in a cavity in the top of a tall yellow birch near the spring that supplies my cabin with water. A bold climber "shinned" up the fifty or sixty feet of rough tree-trunk and looked in upon the eleven eggs. They were beyond the reach of his arm, in a well-like cavity over three feet deep.
Boulders of all shapes and sizes lay bedded in the soft earth where we stood. "You shin up there, Sarge," Mac commanded, "and locate that mark. It ought to be an easy climb." I "shinned," and reached the ledge with a good deal of skin peeled from various parts of my person.
"Where dad was once goin' to chuck you down for givin' him back talk," said the younger brother casually. To Mr. Grey's relief and yet astonishment, Jim burst into a loud laugh and rubbed his legs. "That's so how old times DO come back!" "And," said the bright-eyed Almira, "there's that old butternut-tree that you shinned up one day when we set the hounds on you. Goodness! how you scooted!"
From the branches above there dropped a huge black hairy object, with apparently four pairs of hands. "By the Lord," cried Mr. Hume, who was the first to see the enemy, "drop!" He shinned down on top of Compton, who in turn descended on Venning, and the whole three of them reached the ground together in a jumble.
Sweeny immediately shinned up the stepped beam, uttered a neigh of triumphant laughter from the top, and then skylarked down again. "Well, you are a man," observed the strong-minded lady, somewhat discomfited. "Av coorse I'm a man," yelped Sweeny. "Who said I wasn't? He's a lying informer. Ha ha, hoo hoo, ho ho!"
The air was clear and transparent; not a cloud flecked the deep blue of the sky overhead; and a man, who had shinned aloft at Johnson's orders as far as the main truck, was just in the act of reporting that there was nothing anywhere in sight.
