For my part, I have some regard for my fat body, and I don't care about leaving it here at the bottom of the German Ocean," chuckled Mr. Stoute; and he always laughed with especial gusto when he had said anything which he thought was funny. "The captain can leave any of my classes when he is sent for to look out for the vessel." "Mr.
Hamblin was not encouraged by this experiment of his associate. "Why don't you go below, sir?" shouted Terrill, placing his trumpet close to the professor's head. "I can't move," replied he. "Mr. Gage will help you," added the lieutenant. The carpenter assisted Mr. Hamblin to the companion-way, while the boatswain had succeeded in rolling Mr. Stoute up to the same point.
"The tooth-ache," said Roger Williams of the New England tribes, "is the only paine which will force their stoute hearts to cry"; even the Indian women, he says, never cry as he has heard "some of their men in this paine"; but Lewis and Clarke found whole tribes who had abolished this source of tears in the civilized manner, by having no teeth left.
Stoute, this is a question of discipline; and higher considerations than those of merely personal comfort and security should be brought to bear upon it. It would be impossible for me to impart to my pupils a knowledge of that noblest language of the historic past, if they are to be permitted to leave the class when they choose to do so. I shall refer this matter to Mr. Lowington for his decision.
Hamblin was vexed, but he gave the letter to his associate, who turned the sheet and glanced at the signature. "Ah!" exclaimed he, looking at Mr. Hamblin. "What is it? Do me the favor to read it," replied the learned gentleman, impatiently. "It is from Monsieur Charles Rogier, the president of the council, and minister of foreign affairs," added Professor Stoute.
One of our fellows heard Stoute telling the doctor about it; and Fatty was so tickled that he shook just like a freshly-baked cup-custard. There goes the boatswain's whistle. We are off now," added Perth, as he sprang to his place at the capstan. The anchor had before been hove short, and in a few moments the Young America, also in the warm embrace of a powerful steam-tug, moved down the river.
He laughed till every ounce of his adipose frame quivered. "What are you laughing at, Mr. Stoute?" demanded the disappointed suitor for Belgian honors. "You will excuse me, sir; but really I can't help it," choked the fat professor. "I really don't see anything to laugh at," added Mr. Hamblin, indignantly. "I was intensely amused at the shuffling indifference of Monsieur Rogier.
Stoute?" asked Professor Hamblin, nervous and excited at the near prospect of standing face to face before the great man of Belgium, and of being complimented upon his great educational works. "I don't know; but his office must be somewhere in this vicinity," replied the fat professor, laughing at the excitement of his associate.
Some of them had wings, or boards, at their sides, which were let down when the craft was going on the wind, thus serving the same purpose as a centreboard. Others were rigged so that their masts could be lowered to the deck in passing bridges. Maps, guide-books, and other volumes of reference were in great demand among the students, and Professor Stoute was continually questioned by all hands.
"A ship there is coming in," interrupted the pilot, pointing to seaward. She was several miles distant, standing in under all sail. She was examined with the spy-glasses, and every one was rejoiced to learn that it was the Young America. "I am very glad to see the ship again," said Paul to Professor Stoute.
