The next minute, as I stood there longing to lower myself down into the boat, a lantern was swung over to them; while the men came swarming up the hatchway, for the news had soon spread, and they came running as far aft as they dared. "Now then, steady," came from beneath us. "Let go; we've got you, I say." "No cuttee tow-chang! No cuttee tow-chang!"
"Oh, no cuttee tow-chang!" wailed Ching piteously. "Tow-chang?" said the captain. "Yes, sir; his tail," I said. "Oh, I see! They're very proud of the length." "Well, I'm blessed if ever I see such a snarl," cried the man below. "That's it. There you are. Here, cut this hankychy thing." "Got him now?"
Velly pull wolk. Him get hold of tow-chang, and pullee him both together." "That's right, sir. I snatched at anything, and got hold of his tail, and held on. But you don't mind, Mr Ching?" "No; mustn't cut tow-chang off."
Velly cold," came up in a piteous wail. "Hold hard there!" shouted Mr Brooke. "Port boat back here under the counter." The falls were unhooked, and the boat drawn back by the coxswain till she passed round close to the rudder. "Any one there?" cried Mr Brooke. "Ay, ay, sir!" and a cheer broke out from the men hurrying aft. "Help! help!" came in a sharp wail. "No cut tow-chang! No cut tow-chang!"
