And now, though it still had the tone of a mighty wind roaring among the branches, it was also like a deep bass voice speaking, as distinctly as a tree could be expected to speak, the following words: "Go to Argus, the shipbuilder, and bid him build a galley with fifty oars." Then the voice melted again into the indistinct murmur of the rustling leaves and died gradually away.
How he avoided landing on his head and sustaining a broken neck or shattered skull was one of those miraculous things that no one can explain. The chauffeur had plunged out over Farnum's head, alighting beyond the shipbuilder. The chauffeur now lay writhing and groaning. David Pollard landed first, on one wrist and his chest, a cry of anguish escaping him. Eph Somers lay in the road motionless.
"Why, then, such drawings and such explanations that any skilled shipbuilder, from the plans you furnish us, could build another boat just like, and just as effective, as the boat you now command?" "What do you want to do with such plans?" asked Benson. "Why, would you care about that, if I pay you well enough?" "Perhaps not," muttered Jack Benson.
Dawkins, the great shipbuilder, and M'Pherson, of M'Pherson and Flinders, the Glasgow merchants, were there. Very jolly affair, I assure you. Deuced gentlemanly fellow, Phil Sheldon." And so the matter would end. Would there be an inquest in the event of his stepdaughter's death? Well, no.
The Sophia Jane was the first steamer in Australasian waters. She arrived in Sydney from London, via the Cape of Good Hope, with cargo and passengers, on the 14th of May. This vessel was built on the Thames by a well-known shipbuilder of the time, William Evans, who was the builder of many other notable early steamers.
Taking the marine glasses from the conning tower, the shipbuilder was now well forward on the platform deck, scanning what was visible of the steam craft to the southward. At last the yard’s owner turned around to say: “I don’t believe you young men can have things ship-shape a second too soon. The craft heading this way has a military mast forward.
One paragraph spoke of the return of Bonaparte and promised another letter and further details, on the arrival of the Pharaon belonging to the shipbuilder Morrel, of Marseilles, whose captain was entirely devoted to the emperor. During all this time, the general, on whom they thought to have relied as on a brother, manifested evidently signs of discontent and repugnance.
"It seems to me I've read of suspected spies being caught around American fortifications, trying to make notes, or take photographs." "Yes," nodded the shipbuilder. "And I think I've read, also, that such spies are generally warned and then let go." "That's the usual procedure, I believe," admitted Farnum.
Ingram: you must attend to the boat." "Don't you feel at home in her yet?" he asked. "I am not afraid of her," said Sheila, regarding the lines of the small craft with the eye of a shipbuilder, "but she is very narrow in the beam, and she carries too much sail for so small a thing I suppose they have not any squalls on this coast, where you have no hills and no narrows to go through."
The king's wrath at this overthrow of his hopes showed itself in a brutal and impolitic act of vengeance. He was a skilful shipbuilder; and among the many enterprises which the restless genius of Cromwell undertook there was probably none in which Henry took so keen an interest as in his creation of an English fleet.
