Deep roars from Schenke somewhere in the rear! Now, labouring still to Takia's 'troke! 'troke! we had the foam of the German's stern wash at our blades! "Come away, Hilda's!" . . . "Shake her up, there!" . . . "Hilda-h! Hilda-h!" Takia took no outward heed of the cries. He was staring stolidly ahead, bending to the pulse of the boat. No outward heed but 'troke! 'troke! came faster from his lips.
We strained, almost holding the Germans' ensign at level with our bow pennant. Loud over the wild yells of the crowd we heard the voice we knew old Burke's bull-roar: "Let 'er rip, Taki'! Let 'er rip, bye!" Takia's eyes gleamed as he sped us up up up! 'Troke became a yelp like a wounded dog's. He crouched, standing, in the sternsheets, and lashed us up to a furious thrash of oars!
