"Too late," he said; "don't you see that the guard have prevailed. Besides, the pirate crew are in their boats almost at the vessel. See, they swarm up the side." "Poor, poor sailor!" said Robin Wright, in a voice of the deepest pity. "You may well say that; no doubt he is killed by this time," said Slagg; "but no he is fightin' still!" This was indeed true.
"Ay," observed Jim Slagg, who with the others had witnessed this meeting with deep interest, "an' the babby has kep' the lighten' goin' ever since, though he's dropped the thunder, for he's an electrician no less a manufacturer of lightnin' an' a director of it too."
Sometimes, in coorse, they spells wrong, like bad schoolboys, and then they've to be walloped an' set right." "Hold your noise, Slagg, an' let your betters speak," returned Stumps. "Well, if they don't exactly do that," said Sam Shipton, "there are people who think they can do things even more difficult.
So we have only to send down earth-wires at the two ends one into the earth of Ireland, the other into the earth of Newfoundland, and straightway the circuit is closed, and the electricity generated in our batteries passes through the cable from earth to earth." "Robin," said Slagg doubtingly, "d'you expect me for to believe that?" "Indeed I do," said Robin simply.
They even took to guessing who Letta's parents would turn out to be, and Sam went so far as to invent and relate romantic stories, in which the father and mother of Letta played a conspicuous part. He called them Colonel and Mrs Montmorenci for convenience, which Slagg reduced to Colonel and Mrs Monty, "for short."
"Done it! av coorse ye have!" cried Flinn, picking up an enormous bird; "it cudn't have bin nater done by a sportin' lord." "Then it ain't a tame one?" asked Slagg eagerly. "No more a tame wan than yoursilf, an' the best of aitin' too," said. Flinn.
Poor fellow, he was terribly cut up about your supposed death. I really believe that he finds it hard even to smile now, much less to laugh. As for Madge, she won't believe that you are lost at least she won't admit it, though it is easy to see that anxiety has told upon her." "I wonder how my poor old mother has took it," said Slagg, pathetically.
A rock it proved to be, to the discomfiture of Slagg and Stumps; but the rock was not without interest, for it was soon seen that a rope was attached to it, and that the rope, stretching across the entrance to a creek, was lost in the foliage on the side opposite to the rock.

"Ditto," said Slagg. "Why, I'm not muddled a bit!" suddenly exclaimed Stumps, with a half-contemptuous laugh. "Of coorse you're not," retorted Slagg. "Brainless things never git into that state.
"Well, I won't do it any more, though 'tain't easy to change one's 'abits. But how is it, sir, that that there electricity works? That's what I wants to know. Does the words run along the cable, or 'ow?" "Of course they do, Stumpy," interrupted Slagg, "they run along the cable like a lot o' little tightrope dancers, an' when they come to the end o't they jumps off an' ranges 'temselves in a row.
