Obadiah Coble shrugged up his shoulders, as he took an extra quid. Dick Short walked about with lips compressed, more taciturn than ever Jansen shook his head, muttering, "Te tog is no tog." Bill Spurey had to repeat to the ship's company the legend of his coming on board over and over again.
Neither of them spoke a word for some time, but watched the body, as it lay motionless, doubled up, with the fore and hind feet meeting each other, and the one eye closed. "Well, I've a notion that he is done for, any how," said Smallbones, "at last." "Mein Gott, yes!" replied the corporal. "He never get on his legs again, be he tog or be he tyfel."
Tere is no pot in hell teep enough to put him in! 'Ten tey must make haste and tig one, says herself; 'for she 'll pe hangt in a tay or two. So she 'll wake up, and beholt it was a tream!" "An' no sic an ill dream efter a', daddy!" said Malcolm. "Not an efil tream, my son, when it makes her aalmost wish that she hadn't peen quite killing ta tog!
"Ow, na; he's breathin' yet," answered Malcolm. "She'll not can co till ta tog will pe tead. Ta tog may want more killing." "What a horrible savage!" said one of the lairds, a justice of the peace. "He ought to be shut up in a madhouse."
So, if there's no leak we don't need to be afraid of her, only don't let anything slip. We'll lay quiet and try the young lady out. Beaton here can give her an introduction to Miss La Rue, and the rest is easy. What do you say, Celeste?" "Oh, I'll get her goat; you boys trot on now while I tog up a little for dinner; when is it, six o'clock?"
Jansen took out his snickerree, looked at Short, and made a motion with the knife, as if passing it across the dog's throat. "No," replied Short. "Let's launch him overboard at night," said one of the men. "But how is one to get the brute out of the cabin?" said Coble; "if it's done at all it must be done by day." Short nodded his head. "A tog is a tog," observed Jansen.
Here is your warrant, and I've great pleasure in getting it for you." Swinburne turned the quid in his cheek, and then replied, "May I be so bold as to ax, Captain O'Brien, whether I must wear one of them long tog, swallow-tailed coats because if so, I'd prefer being a quarter-master?"
Well, I'll come up and see fair play, and while you're at the fists I'll leave my tog and take his, d'ye twig? Well, up O'Shockady went, and, my crikey! if you had seen how the bloke fired up when his girl was insulted! why, his coat was off in a jiffey, and it was soon farther off than he could catch, I can tell you.
Once more did the corporal make his appearance on the forecastle, frightened and out of breath. "Mein Gott! de man is mad," exclaimed he, "and de tog is de tyfel himself." The corporal then narrated in broken English what had passed.
"Well, then," replied Jemmy, "will you shy the dog overboard?" "Te tog? in one minute and de master after him." Whereupon Corporal Van Spitter went down into the cabin, which Vanslyperken, trusting to his surveillance, had left unlocked, and seizing the cur by the neck, carried him on deck, and hurled him several yards over the cutter's quarter. "Mein Gott! but dat is well done," observed Jansen.
