Besides, I must cut the entrance-door down to the ground, for this tree-mendous flight o' stairs'll be the ruin o' the business. It's only a week since a man was shot by a comrade here in the cabin, an' as they rushed out after him, two customers fell down the stair and broke their arms. And I calc'late the gentlemen that's overtaken by liquor every night won't stand it much longer.
"What a chance, boys," suddenly exclaimed Flinders, "to pay off old scores with a tree-mendous wallopin'! We could do it aisy in five or six minutes, an' then lave 'im to think over it for the rest of his life." As no one approved of Paddy's proposal, it was finally resolved to dig the big man out and a pick and shovel were procured for the purpose.
"I've been thinkin'," said Tom slowly, "that if a whale makes his breakfast entirely off them little things that you can hardly see when you get 'em into a tumbler I forget how the captain calls 'em wot a tree-mendous heap of 'em he must eat in the course of a year!" "Thousands of 'em, I suppose," said one of the men. "Thousands!" cried Tom, "I should rather say billions of them."
"I've been round it once," said another; "an' that time the sails were split, and the ropes frozen in the blocks so that they wouldn't work, and we wos all but lost." "An' I've been round it five times," cried a third; "an' every time wos wuss than another, the gales wos so tree-mendous!"
He pointed to a pool in the river where the gurgling eddies certainly indicated considerable depth of water, but his friend shook his head. "No, Charlie," he said, "you don't understand the danger as I do. Don't you see that the water runs into the hole at such a rate that there's a tree-mendous eddy that would sweep any man off his legs "
"An' I've been round it once," said another, "an' that time the sails were split, and the ropes frozen in the blocks, so that they wouldn't work, and we wos all but lost." "An' I've been round it five times," cried a third, "an' every time wos wuss than another, the gales wos so tree-mendous!"
But what have you been a-thinkin' of, Tom?" "I've been thinkin'," said Tom slowly, "that if a whale makes his breakfast entirely off them little things that you can hardly see when you get 'em into a tumbler I forget how the captain calls 'em wot a tree-mendous heap of 'em he must eat in the course of a year!" "Thousands of 'em, I suppose," said one of the men.
Indeed I have, just; an' a most tree-mendous beautiful sight it is. Wos ye goin' there?" "I've been thinking about it. Is the shooting good?"
"I've been round it once," said another, "an' that time the sails were split, and the ropes frozen in the blocks, so that they wouldn't work, and we wos all but lost." "An' I've been round it five times," cried a third, "an' every time wos wuss than another, the gales wos so tree-mendous!"
The first few seconds of dead silence with which this was received were succeeded by a long and loud burst of applause, the heartiness of which plainly showed that the scene far exceeded the expectations of the men. "Bravo!" cried the captain, "excellent! nothing could be better." "It beats natur', quite," said one. "All to sticks," cried another. "And wot a tree-mendous giant he makes.
