"And that crowd, and also the poor seafaring men that put out in the like of the 'Mary Bond." The crowd had gone from the office building, now, following Mr. Farnum and his volunteers down to the little harbor. Jack, his chums and the naval party slowly followed down to the water front. Little time did the shipbuilder lose in getting under way.
I was interviewed by these gentlemen in Glasgow, was selected for the vacant post of general manager, and in May, 1885, removed with my family to Belfast, and entered upon my duties there. Lord Pirrie is a great shipbuilder of world-wide fame. I was not long at the County Down before I discovered his wonderful energy, his marvellous capacity for work, his thoroughness, and keen business ability.
The same afternoon we drove to the house of a shipbuilder at a little hamlet called Greenshore, and went out lobster-fishing in his beautiful boat. The way of fishing for these creatures was a novel one to me, but so easy that a mere novice may be very successful. We tied sinks to mackerel, and let them down in six fathoms water.
She sighed as she looked at the tall hulks, and watched for the man who, from her earliest girlhood, had owned her heart, whose image was inseparable from every thing of joy and beauty that she had ever known, and every grief her young soul had suffered under. Constantine, the younger son of Clemens the shipbuilder, had been her brothers' companion and closest friend.
"No," replied Mr. Farnum, shaking his head. "Captain Benson must go out on naval business to-day." A murmur of disappointment went up from the crowd. Jack Benson was a young skipper on whose success a Dunhaven crowd would make bets. "But, see here," proposed the shipbuilder, "I'll go out myself, on the 'Benson, and take Williamson along with me.
But the light faded, and he checked himself with a gesture of pain. "I am a convict. Never mind what I have been. A sailor, a shipbuilder, prodigal, vagabond what does it matter? It won't alter my fate, will it?" "If we get safely back," says Frere, "I'll ask for a free pardon for you. You deserve it." "Come," returned Dawes, with a discordant laugh. "Let us wait until we get back."
Each shipbuilder fastening his timbers together with honest thoughts will find that his thoughts have become ships carrying him over the sea to the harbor of God. Each worker putting integrity into gold and silver will find that he has carved his own character into a beauty beyond that of gems and sapphires. For his thoughts drag into futurity after them. So deeply was St.
If the shipbuilder knew more than he was prepared to tell, it was not for his young captain to ask for information that was not volunteered. The second boy present, also in uniform, Hal Hastings by name, had not spoken in five minutes. That was like Hal. He was the engineer of the submarine torpedo boat, “Pollard.” Jack was captain of the same craft, and could do all the talking.
"And winter passed winter and summer; they come and go as I come and go; the snow melts, the apple blossom blooms, the leaves fall all is change, change, and with mankind among the rest. "But the daughters were still young little Idé a rose, beautiful to look at, as the shipbuilder had seen her.
"Well, we can't run away," retorted Jacob Farnum, blandly. "Why not, if we feel like it?" The shipbuilder laughed. "Why, Dave, a spirited lad like Jack Benson would be furious over anything that looked like a retreat. He'd be savage. Now, Dave, we can hardly afford to put such a slight on the boy who has had so much to do with our success." "I suppose not," grunted Mr.
