Aweel, the man got what he wanted, for they went aboard the liner cryin' that the Grotkau was sinkin'. But it's curious to think o' the consequences.
"And is it quite sure ye are that she's sinkin?" he said. "Ay, ay! sure enough, my man; and you'd better look sharp." Having cast one last, lingering look around him, Curtis then left the ship; the rope was cut and we went slowly adrift. All eyes were fixed upon the spot where the "Chancellor" lay foundering.
Oh, I knows you backsliders, an' ef any ob you doan come across while Dekin Jones passes de box, I'se gwine ter preach nex' Sunday on what happened ter de money-chasers in de temple. We will now sing two verses ob "Th'ow Out de Lifeline, Anoder Ship Sinkin' To-day." The hobo knocked at the back door and the lady of the house appeared. "Lady," he said, "I was at the front "
"It's a coorse nicht, Jess, an' heavy traivellin'; can ye see afore ye, lass? for a'm clean confused wi' the snaw; bide a wee till a' find the diveesion o' the roads; it's aboot here back or forrit. "Steady, lass, steady, dinna plunge; i'ts a drift we're in, but ye're no sinkin'; ... up noo; ... there ye are on the road again.
Sympathy don't travel by word of mouth between pardners. It's the grip of the hand or the look of the eye. "'What cause? says I. "He turned, and s'help me, I never want to see the like again. His face was plumb grey and dead, like wet ashes, while his eyes scorched through, all dry and hot. Lines was sinkin' into it as I looked.
"How is the sump hole under the shaft?" Dick asked. "Must be somewhere about seventy or eighty feet of water in it; but we can pump that out in no time. She isn't makin' much water. Almost a dry mine now, for some reason I don't quite get. Looks as if it leaked away a good deal, somewhere, through the formation. There wouldn't be no trouble in sinkin' the shaft."
"I don't wonder, Abner," he cried, "that ye open yer eyes; 't ain't often two gentlemen come on board in the night, bag and baggage; but these two stoved in their boat agin our rudder, and here they are, with their craft triced up to keep her from sinkin'." Abner made no answer, but walked to the side of the vessel, looked over, and satisfied himself that this last statement was correct.
I tell ye, teacher," the strong voice trembled slightly "there's been times when I've felt as though I've been a sinkin', as ye might say, and a wantin' to call out for help! help! like any weak, drowning fool, instead o' swimmin' above it strong, and helpin' them as was weaker than me. "No shame for me to say, teacher, I've allays had it in my mind that Becky'd marry me. It grew up with me.
But when he is satisfied that he is moored fast and strong, then he hauls on his arm, and down comes the ship, no matter how big she is. As the ship is sinkin' he turns her over, every now and then, keel uppermost, and gives her a shake, and when the people drop out, he sucks them into a sort of funnel, which is his mouth.
For here the other night, as I strolls up from the station I spots an express truck movin' on ahead in the general direction of our house. I felt kind of a sinkin' sensation the minute I saw that truck. I can't say why. Psychic, I expect. You know. Ouija stuff. And sure enough, the blamed truck turns into our driveway.
