With a convulsive effort he pitched himself on it, and in the darkness of the narrow place could be heard growling angrily, like an irritated and savage animal uneasy in its den: "Bit of breeze... small thing... can't stand up... old!" He slept at last, high-booted, sou'wester on head, and his oilskin clothes rustled, when with a deep sighing groan he turned over.
THERE'S a babby for you, in the form of a Sea Porkypine! Right for all that, said Mr. Peggotty, stopping in his roar, and smiting his hands together; 'fur here she is! It was only Ham. The night should have turned more wet since I came in, for he had a large sou'wester hat on, slouched over his face. 'Wheer's Em'ly? said Mr. Peggotty. Ham made a motion with his head, as if she were outside. Mr.
Rather have a new sou'wester of my own, any day in the week. When I buy a sou'wester I know what it's made of." "Mrs. Ruggles knows what the crown is made of gold, nicely padded with bonds and preferred stock." "Humph! Sometimes I wonder if the paddin's waterproof.

Richard, in the mean time, betook himself to the big telescope. Right enough: Per was sitting aft, and he saw Madeleine jump down into the boat. On the forward thwart there sat a male creature, dressed in homespun, with a yellow sou'wester on its head. "Bien!" said the old gentleman, with a sigh of relief.

Charley pulled his sou'wester over his eyes, and I followed his example, though I could not guess the idea he evidently had in mind and intended to carry into execution.
I want a plain man in a pea-jacket and a sou'wester, who knows the channel of Boston Harbor, and the rocks of Boston Harbor, and the distinguished Professor is quite of my mind as to the matter, for I took the pains to ask him before I ventured to use his name in the way of illustration."
