"Not here. But there may have been one last night." "Snap Dodge, you ought to be -be hung, drawn and quartered, and tarred and feathered in the bargain," said Whopper, severely. "it's an outrage to -to " "Let it drop, Whopper. Seriously, though, some wild animal has been here and eaten up part of our stores. The question is, could it have been a bear?"
The young journalist's interest was aroused, and in that trifling incident lay the salvation of the priest. From that small beginning came the gleam of light that was to illuminate gloriously the darkness of a mistaken life. Chance had capriciously ruled that the hand that had dislocated the Abbe's arm should set it again, and the dead sailor lying on the sticky, tarred hatch-cover had helped.
The boats were freshly planked, turned bottom upwards, caulked and tarred, and then bound together side by side after Cossack fashion, with long strands of reeds, so that the swell of the waves might not sink them. Far along the shore they built fires and heated tar in copper cauldrons to smear the boats. The old and the experienced instructed the young.
If the subject for the baptism were, for any reason, obnoxious to the sailors, his treatment was much more severe. He was greased and tarred and shampooed, and shaved with an iron hoop, and treated, in all respects, very roughly. On board this fleet, the passengers, including one hundred well-armed soldiers, greatly exceeded the number of sailors.
"Too bad 'bout that tarred cable of ours," rejoined Amos; "three days' good fuel in that, I calculate." "Well, it's gone with the codfish, and the fact is properly entered in the log as barratrous conduct on the part of the skipper. Enough to prove him insane."
A light tap on the tarred canvas directly over his head had caught his ear. Iris, glad of the diversion, told him she had heard the noise three or four times, but fancied it was caused by the occasional rustling of the sheet on the uprights. Jenks had not allowed his attention to wander altogether from external events.
To Hanover Street! We'll have him tarred and feathered before the sun is down!" The voice sounded strangely like Weld's. They charged at this cry like a herd of mad buffalo, the weaker ones trampled under foot or thrust against the wall. The windows of Mr. Aikman's shop were shattered.
Harbison had no desire to explain further, and that the situation was forced on him. But if he insisted when a man systematically ignored and neglected his wife for some one else, there were communities where he would be tarred and feathered. "Meaning me?" Jim demanded, apoplectic. "The remark was a general one," Mr. Harbison retorted, "but if you wish to make a concrete application !"
But at last I came to a barque that had a newer look about her than that of the craft amidst which she was lying, and that also had her binnacle covered with a tarred canvas hood such as is used when vessels are lying in port.
They say that a Chinese soldier always misses a bull's-eye when he shoots at it under no circumstances does he score a bull's-eye. Observing this, the authorities concluded that Fankwae soldiers were tarred with the same unhappy feather.
