As I said before, if we were as they are lyin' racked with pain, burnin' with druth, the head splittin', the whole strength gone not able, maybe, to spake, and hardly able to make a sign to wake ourselves, to put a drink to our lips; suppose, I say, we wor lyin' in this state, an' that all the world had deserted us oh, wouldn't we say that any fellow-crature that had the kindness and the courage to come and aid us wet our lips, raise our heads, and cheer our sinkin' hearts by the sound of their voice alone oh, wouldn't we say that it was God that in His mercy put it into their heart to come to us, and relieve us, and save us?"
"'Twas Rastus Young," replied Mr. Chase promptly. Even the Captain was obliged to laugh, although he declared that Mr. Young's constancy was a proof that the firm's prospects were good. "Rats'll always leave a sinkin' ship," he said, "and if Zoeth and me was goin' under Rat Young would be the first to quit."
"Dey wuk on twel bimeby de butter tas'e so good dat ole Brer Rabbit want some mo'. Den he raise up his head, he did, en holler out: "'Heyo! Hol' on! I'm a comin'! en off he put. "Dis time he stay right smart w'ile, en w'en he git back Brer Fox ax him whar he bin. "'I been ter see my ole 'oman, en she's a sinkin', sezee.
And seeing the nephew Sinkin, who had risen to his suggestion, standing somewhat irresolutely in front of him, he added: "Perhaps you would like to look a little more closely at my eyes. Every now and then they flash with an almost uncanny insight." For by now he had quite forgotten his modesty in the identification he felt with the journal which was interviewing him.
"Well, Margaret," said he, "isn't this wondherful, dear? look at the comfort we have now about us, and think of ; but troth I don't like to think of it at all." "I never can," she replied, "without a troubled and a sinkin' heart; but, Art, don't you remember when I wanst wished you to become a Teetotaller, the answer you made me?" "May be I do; what was it?"
"There's a thing here here" and he placed his hand upon his heart "something it is that makes me afeard a sinkin' a weight and there's a strugglin', too, Connor. I know I can't stand it long an' it's about you it's all about you." "You distress yourself too much, father; indeed you do. Why, I hoped that you would comfort my poor mother till I come back to her and you, as I will, plase God."

They would often say to Mrs. M. "Why, Missus, old sinner just sinkin in de grave, but God let me old eyes see dis blessed sun."
"The next mornin' it was blowin' fresh and lively, and the lookout sighted a schooner lyin' to a couple of miles to the lew'ard, reefed daown close, and a flag flyin', union down, signal of distress. Thinkin' they were sinkin', the captain of the steamer put towards her, and rounded to half a mile off and called for volunteers to git aout the bot.
"I ain't quite seen his like afore," said the shiftless one to Paul. "First time I run acrost him I thought he would tumble down among the first bushes he met. 'Stead o' that, he sailed right through 'em, makin' never a trip an' no noise at all, same ez Long Jim's teeth sinkin' into a juicy venison steak."
"Can't we do something to help them?" asked Merritt eagerly. "Only one thing we can do, boy, and that's full uv danger." "What is it?" demanded Rob, ignoring the last part of the captain's speech. "Get in ther boat and go out thar to 'em. If they're sinkin' we can help 'em a whole lot, and " The captain stopped short in amazement.
