"That does sound like a teaser, don't it?" responded her cousin, with a grin. "Just the same, Mr. Haley made 'em all sit up and take notice. He didn't only speak for the schoolhouse, and new methods of teaching, and a graded school; but he took up Elder Concannon's arguments and shot 'em full of holes. "You ought to have seen the old gentleman's face when Mr.
He knew that the distance was about four miles; but he could not know, except by sounding, when he came to the island, and he had bargained with the army officer to be on the lookout for him. Captain Westover had heard the noise of the Teaser, and had hailed her, thus assuring the lieutenant that his calculation had been correct, and that he was in the vicinity of Fort Pickens.
"The Teaser, prize to the United States ship Bellevite," answered the lieutenant. "Boga-hobble-good!" continued the man on shore. "Rabble-gabble-weed!" responded Christy. "There's a Chinaman on shore there; but I am glad you speak his language," said Beeks, trying to repress his laughter. "You are all right as to position!" shouted the islander.
Just then I saw him stand up and give a sharp look round, his face wearing rather an anxious expression. "You can't see the Teaser, sir?" I said. "No, my lad; I was looking at the weather. I fear it is going to blow a hurricane. The sky looks rather wild." I had been thinking that it looked very beautiful, but I did not say so.
But the excitement was not complete, for, gathering strength now, and recovering from the shock I had received, I was watching the pirates scrambling over the ridge in haste, as if pursued, when there was a concussion of the air, a heavy boom, and I saw the Teaser come into sight, passing through the channel south of where we stood.
"Well, that's what I want to know, sir. If there was magic in them days in China, mayn't there be some left now?" "No, Tom," I said. "We've got more magic on board the Teaser in the shape of steam, than there is of the old kind in all China." "Well, sir, you've had more schooling than ever I've had, but if it ain't a bit magicky about them boats, I should like to know what it is."
When only two children are together mere teasing will not last long; either the teaser will tire of his task or his teasing will turn to that lowest of all brutalities, delight in inflicting pain on weaker ones. But teasing is a serious problem in many families; the whole group sometimes lives in an atmosphere of ridicule, derision, and annoyance.
"Do they think a boat full of men could do that?" "No, sir; but they could give the forts on the other side warning." The sounds from the boat had come from the starboard bow of the steamer, and it looked as though the guard-boat had intercepted her by accident, since it was impossible that they could have seen the Teaser in the fog and gloom.
One can't start fair upon any voyage without preparations, so I must put in another word or two to tell you that there were two logs kept on board the good ship Teaser one by the chief officer, and in which the captain often put down his opinion.
