Ours has vouched in a way that should keep you easy." "Arter de Soosan Tucker dis is like bein' hung up to dry," exclaimed one of the negroes. "It war pump, pump dere and no mistake. I call dis a werry beautiful little sheep, massa; yes, s'elp me de Lord, dere's nuffin could persuade me she ain't what I says she am." However, I was up and down a good deal during the night.
And some day if I get away from here and reach Brisbane and your father comes to me and says, `Where's my boy? I ups and says, `He wouldn't leave the doctor, sir, who was lying bad, having been shot; so me and a black fellow takes to the boat and rows half a mile away so's to be out o' reach o' the falling bits when the Soosan blew up as she did; and a werry beautiful sight it was.

"Retreating to the boat, Bob?" "Yes, sir, or else chancing it, and that last aren't pleasant.
I'm blessed if I know what he'd say; all I knows is that I aren't going to meet him; not me, my lad; I'd sooner have a blow up from the Soosan than one from him." "Bob," said Carey, softly, "I wish I could reach up and shake hands with you." "Well, so you can, dear boy," said the old sailor, huskily. "Thankye, my lad. Go and sneak away at a time like this?
