'Two one and a half one lights in line sou'-west by west got a match? He expended two, and tumbled upstairs again. 'You don't want me, do you? I shouted after him. 'No, but come up when you've put the kettle on. It's a pretty beat up the fiord. Lovely breeze. His legs disappeared. A sort of buoyant fatalism possessed me as I finished my notes and pored over the stove.
"Well, I think her 'ead wos sou'-west, if it warn't nor'-east. Anyhow it wos pintin' somewhere or other round the compass. But, as I wos sayin', when Mrs.
The crew were grouped about the deck, the mate was reading the lesson, the words which I heard were: 'Have dominion over the fish! "'A fall! a fall! was shouted from the maintop. The men on watch had discovered the long-expected prey. "'Man the boats! cried the captain; 'all hands be spry! Where away, look out? "'Sou'-west! answered the crow's-nest, 'about two leagues.
'Crabs would be scarce this season; and couldn't we come down? The larks were beginning to rise in the marshes." Jane nodded thoughtfully: "A Tuckerton skiff? Now, I'm surprised at that, father. I should prefer something heavier a yawl, say for coming in on that beach. Well The wind must be dead sou'-west to-day. It would bring the spray right up into your face if you were lying on the sand."
The captain, who had watched the whole scene with quiet interest and a peculiar curl about his black moustache, as well as a twinkle in his sharp black eye, uttered a short laugh, thrust his hands into his pockets, and walked away to give the order that the steamer's head should be laid precisely "sou', sou'-west, and by south, half-south," with a slight almost a shadowy leaning in the direction of "southerly."

She's been re'ching close in to avoid the flood tide, as the wind is to the sou'-west, and she's bound down; but as soon as the ebb made, d'ye see, they made sail to the west'ard. Captain Hardy may be depended upon for that; he knows every current about here, being a native.
On deck they strained their eyes seaward towards a brown spot on the blue far, far away to the sou'-west. It was the junk making a soldier's wind of it, every inch of sail spread. Judging by the distance she had covered, she must have been making at least eight knots, and the Heart of Ireland under similar wind conditions was incapable of more than seven. "No good chasing her," said Blood.
The old salt deigned no reply to this passing sally, but continued his converse with Singleton. "I could give ye many a long yarn about the South Seas," said Buzzby, gazing abstractedly down into the deep. "One time when I was about fifty miles to the sou'-west o' Cape Horn, I " "Dinner's ready, sir," said a thin, tall, active man, stepping smartly up to Singleton, and touching his cap.
Even when I woke up, I could hardly persuade myself that I was not in a coffin. As a medical man, I know that a nightmare is simply a vascular derangement of the cerebral hemispheres, and yet in my weak state I cannot shake off the morbid impression which it produces.
