"It is plain enough that our charming young Russian doesn't mean to drop Captain Benson's acquaintance just yet, if she can help it," laughed the shipbuilder. "What are you going to do with the flowers, old man?" asked Hal. "Flowers should be put in water, to make them keep, shouldn't they" queried the young submarine skipper, innocently. "Yep," nodded Eph Somers.
Day, a shipbuilder, wishing to have a day's outing in the forest with his friends and employés, fitted up a vessel on wheels, fully rigged, in which he conveyed his picnic party to Hainault Forest, on the outskirts of which, some distance from Ilford, stood the famous Fairlop Oak.
Shreve, like Hawkins, flagrantly ignoring the conventional wisdom of his day and craft, built the Washington to sail on the water instead of in it, doing away altogether with a hold and supplying an upper deck in its place. To few inventors, indeed, does America owe a greater debt of thanks than to this Ohio River shipbuilder.
It is likely that, like myself, he saw at last what manner of shipbuilder that Alfred was of whom we had heard such tales. I had ever been told, when shipmen gathered in our hall, that the ships of the west Saxons were framed with all the best points of the best ships yet built, with added size and power, and now I knew that all I had heard was but truth.
"Kamanako is my name, honorable sir," replied the Japanese, with three more bows. "Take a seat, won't you, Mr. Kamanako?" Mr. Farnum invited him again. "It is much better, honorable sir, that I stand." "Why?" "Because I am servant." "Not here, surely," replied the shipbuilder. "All the waiters here are negroes."
“Immediately, or a minute or two later,” laughed the shipbuilder. “I’m ready,” declared Captain Jack, rising. “It’ll take you a little time to hear about it all and digest it, so you may as well be seated again,” declared Farnum. Hal, too, wandered back to his chair. “You’ve been wondering how much longer the Government would leave the ’Pollard’ here,” went on Mr.
"Mlle. Nadiboff!" ejaculated Jack, under his breath. Jacob Farnum turned his head away for an instant, but the young captain heard the unmistakable sound of a chuckle from the shipbuilder. Kamanako turned his mild eyes inquiringly in the direction of the handsome young woman, as though he wondered who she might be.
Two remarkable hostile meetings, I recollect, took place in Liverpool at the commencement of the present century, and caused an immense sensation, from the known position and high standing of all the parties concerned. The first duel I shall mention was that between Mr. Sparling, late of St. Domingo House, Everton, and Mr. Grayson, an eminent shipbuilder.
To make this difficult matter somewhat clearer and more plausible, we may instance an analogy from familiar experience. A ship is made by the shipbuilder, who is its corporeal cause. But there is also an incorporeal cause, likewise a ship, viz., the ship in the mind of the shipbuilder.
And while he was building the ship for the father, he was also building castles in the air for himself, wherein he and Idé sat as man and wife; and that might have happened had the castles been of stone walls, with ramparts and moats, woods and gardens. But, with all his talents, the master shipbuilder was but a humble bird. What should a sparrow do in an eagle's nest? "Wheugh wheugh!
