"Vy, you know the hold boy's tin vich he buried afore he vas taken up and dished." "What do you mean?" I inquired, wishing to see how much he knew. "O, don't 'tempt to gammon me, 'case I knows by the way that yer does that yer knows all 'bout the trick. But I say, can't I come in for shooks?" "Then you know that there is money buried near here?" "Hof course I does.
The brig was laden with hogshead staves and box shooks, and the Colonel went there partly for his health, partly on business, taking with him his valet Potts." "What became of his family?" interrupted Brandon. "He had a son in England at school. His wife had died not long before this at one of the hill stations, where she had gone for her health.
The cargo consisted of flour, beef, pork, lard, butter, fish, beans, onions, potatoes, apples, hams, furniture, sugar box shooks, &c., invoiced at about eight thousand dollars. Nothing remarkable occurred during the passage, except much bad weather, until my capture, which was as follows: Monday, December 17th, 1821, commenced with fine breezes from the eastward.
"There may be other Shooks in the party, but they should be searched out before nominations, instead of being permitted to reveal themselves after nomination." "The Socialist Party must conform to the conditions imposed upon other parties," says Mr. J. R. MacDonald in agreement with Mr. Wilson's position. On the contrary, no Socialist Party could possibly survive such an attitude.
Refuse boards, shooks, stakes, etc., were placed thickly from the ridge-pole to the ground; a thick layer of straw was laid over these and the whole was covered a foot thick with earth and sods, well beaten down. A stone wall five feet high at back and sides made a most excellent fireplace; and these cabins were weather-proof and warm, even in zero weather.
Mr. Britt knew that men were cutting hoop poles and timber for shooks; Egypt earned ready money with which to pay interest, getting out shooks and hoop poles. That occupation had been the resource of the pioneers, and the descendants stuck to the work, knowing how to do it better than anything else. There was not enough soil for farming on a real money-making scale.
The Hollanders replied, that, according to their contract with England, they were at liberty to send as many as forty or fifty vessels at a time to Spain and Portugal, that they had never exceeded the stipulated number, that England freely engaged in the same traffic herself with the common enemy, that it was not reasonable to consider cordage or dried fish or shooks and staves, butter, eggs, and corn as contraband of war, that if they were illegitimate the English trade was vitiated to the same degree, and that it would be utterly hopeless for the provinces to attempt to carry on the war, except by enabling themselves, through the widest and most unrestricted foreign commerce, even including the enemy's realms, to provide their nation with the necessary wealth to sustain so gigantic a conflict.
He shooks Ip'goo an' bose hoed out degidder." Okiok looked at Kunelik, Kunelik looked at Okiok, and both gravely shook their heads. Before they could resume the conversation, Ippegoo's voice was heard outside asking if his mother was in. "Go," said Kunelik; "though he is a fool, he is wise enough to hold his tongue when any one but me is near."
As to its preservation that was no matter in itself for wonder. East Indian vessels are sometimes built of mahogany, or other woods which last for immense periods. Any wood might endure for eighteen years if covered up by sand. Besides, this vessel he recollected had been laden with staves and box shooks, with other wooden materials which would keep it afloat.
