We've hit it fine," and while he spoke the mist swept clear, and the long, treeless esplanade of Yarmouth lay there a couple of miles from Duncan's eyes, glistening and gilded in the sun like a row of dolls' houses. "Haul in your sheets a bit," said Weeks. "Keep no'th of the hotel, for the tide'll set you up and we'll sail her in without dawdlin' behind a tug.
"Lord, Johnnie-boy, no wonder everybody loves you. No matter what a man does, all you see is the best that's in him." It was time to clean up then, and Johnnie of course was bound to help. "What'll I do with this?" asked Johnnie, in the middle of the cleaning up, holding up a pan of sweepings. "Oh, that" Clancy naturally took charge "heave it overboard. Ebb tide'll carry it away.
Perch, porgies, cunners, black-fish, weak-fish, maybe a bass or a sheep's-head, but more cunners than any thing else, unless we strike some flounders at the turn of the tide." "That's a big enough assortment to set up a fish-market on." "If we catch 'em. We've got a good enough day, anyhow, and the tide'll be about right by the time we get to work." "Why not try here?"
Frenzied at the sight, Trevennack tore off his coat, and would have plunged into the sea, then and there, to rescue her. But the workmen held him back. "No, no, sir; you mustn't," they said. "No harm can't come to the young lady if she stops there. She've only got to sit on them rocks there till morning, and the tide'll leave her high and dry right enough, as it always do.
"I'll show yeh, Rogers! Worlds o' flowers! Out o' the swamps and the tide'll send 'em back again on the reefs. I'll show yeh 'em dead, dried white like men's bones." Then he began to whisper huskily to his engineer: "It's time fer it. Five hundred fer yeh, Crump a hundred fer the nigger, or I knock his head in. She brushes the bar, and yer oil tank goes yeh understand?"
It gave me a turn, sir. For a minute I stared at her. "Why? Because if she don't pick up this light before very many minutes she'll be too close in to wear tide'll have her on the rocks that's why!" I couldn't see her face, but I could see one of her silk shoulders lift a little, like a shrug. And there I kept on staring at her, a dumb one, sure enough.
There's thunder beyond there coming up, and there'll be a breeze setting towards it from the west before another ten minutes is over our heads. I don't know will you care for that in the state you're in this minute, with that old punt and only one oar. The tide'll be running strong against the breeze and there'll be a kick-up at the stone perch." Patsy the smith saw the wisdom of this advice.
What's more, tide'll be runnin' for two hour yet; an' it hasn' reached my ears that the fashion of thankin' the Lord for His bounty have a-perished out o' this old-fangled race of men an' women; though no doubt, my dear, you'd get first news o' the change, with a bed-room window facin' on Ruan Cove."
"Lads," he said, "we conna do this oursens. Run for help, Jem Coulter, an' run wi' thy might, fur it wunnot be so long afore th' tide'll flow." Up to this time the man on the sands had lain with closed eyes and set teeth, but when he heard this his eyes opened and he looked up. "Eh!" he said, in that blind, stupid fashion. "What's that theer tha's sayin' Mester?"
I'm afraid I'm that is, I shouldn't like to be shut in again." "No fear, sir. You trust me. Lot more time yet. 'Sides, the tide'll fall lower to-morrow morning; but I'll get you out as soon as I can, for your poor uncle's quite took to his bed, Master Aleck." "Uncle has?" "Yes, sir.
