"German stowaways," added Anna-Felicitas, nodding her head emphatically, which was very skilful of her, thought Anna-Rose, considering that it was upside down. "German stowaways," whispered Anna-Felicitas, sniffing expressively though cautiously. Anna-Rose raised herself on her elbows and stared across at the bulging curtains. They certainly were very motionless and much curved.
"What are you doing here?" I whispered in a not very steady whisper, as I think my prisoner detected. "I'm just stowing away," he said eagerly; "I'm no harming a thing. Eh, sir, if you're a ship's 'prentice, or whatever may be your duties on this vessel, let me bide! There's scores of stowaways taken every day, and I'll work as few could."
"Well! well! well!" he cried in his best quarterdeck voice "what are you stowaways doin' here?" and he climbed the ladder and swung himself over the battered rail.
Alice said, "I do think it's perfectly beastly. You might just as well have asked for me to go with you; or you might let us come and see you start." "Men must work, and women must weep," replied Oswald with grim sadness, "and the Viking said he wouldn't have us at all unless we could get on board in a concealed manner, like stowaways. He said a lot of others would want to go too if they saw us."
Oo dot any tandy?" "The boys put him up to that," whispered Grace. Betty slid open the door, and there stood Will and Frank, with Paul between them. The boys looked sheepish the child expectant. "I ought to put you two in irons," spoke Betty, but with a smile. "I believe that is what is done with stowaways." "Couldn't you ship us before the mast?" asked Will, with a chuckle.
Sinbad proceeded on his own four feet into the galley and the mess. He was not uneasy in the sick bay, nor in Mura's cabin, and this time he even paced the hydro without being dragged much to their surprise as they had thought that the headquarters of the stowaways. "Could there only have been one?" Weeks wanted to know as he stood by ready with the net in his hands.
That's what I get at every banana-patch along this coast, a lot of damned beach-combers and stowaways stealing on board, and the Commandante chasing 'em all over my ship and holding up my papers. You go ashore!" he ordered. He swept his arm toward the gangway. "You go to Kessler, our consul. If you haven't done nothing wrong, he'll take care of you.
Even their huge funnels had a look of power, I thought, among the masts, like old and hollow oaks in a wood of young and slender trees. One of these was close in dock, and we could see her well. There were some casks on deck, and by them lay a piece of tarpaulin which caught my eye, and recalled what the bad boy had said about captains and stowaways.
Such stowaways are a scarcity nowadays, the peril of torpedoes having given them cold feet. But I believe I can fix it with my friend the captain so that he'll allow us to remain aboard without our names appearing on the passenger list."
"You see, it isn't as if we could do anything for you." "You'll have to tell your aunt," said Kathleen kindly "No, no, no!" moaned Mabel invisibly; "take me with you. I'll leave her a note to say I've run away to sea." "Girls don't run away to sea."" They might," said the stone floor between the pillars, "as stowaways, if nobody wanted a cabin boy cabin girl, I mean."
