It rushed their game, because he wanted to hide her in behind the island, but it won't make much difference now, Mr. Trenholm hear that? She's filling rapidly." We were drifting broadside in the current now, sweeping down the coast and sinking at the same time.
After a minute he slammed the scuttle-board shut, and we heard a heavy, thumping sound and the clanking of a chain. "We're lost!" moaned Riggs. "They are making the scuttle fast with rail-chains. All hands lost, and the Lord have mercy on us! Light the slush-lamp, Mr. Trenholm we're dead men!" "What is their game?"
He burst out in a dry, mirthless cackle of laughter, and slapped his knees, much as if he had heard a good joke. "If you will come in to tiffin with me, Mr. Trenholm, I will tell you about him." Assuming affability, I accepted his invitation, and we went into the dining-room together and found a table to ourselves in the corner.
"That's what he was passing me the silver for this day, sir. They'll hang me now they'll hang me!" "It looks very awkward for you, Mr. Trenholm," said Meeker, sadly. I was about to denounce the missionary and tell him how I had seen him and Petrak together much in Manila, but I was so angry for a minute that I thought it better to hold myself in check for the time.
I felt that I was justified -he would have killed me the next day. But it was a fine joke, to my mind, Mr. Trenholm." "Ain't ye goin' to quit gammin' with that chap and give us a hand here?" demanded Buckrow. "Is that what ye call all bein' equal, Mr. Thirkle? If ye do, I don't."
"My dear sir, I am almost certain that I have sprained my back I am sure I have injured my back!" "I am sorry for your back," I said, getting to my feet. "For my part, I am satisfied to escape without a broken neck." "My immortal soul, if it isn't Mr. Trenholm!" said he, blinking at me, his goggles bobbing on a rubber string made fast to a jacket-button. "Of all persons, Mr. Trenholm!
"I never felt it as I do now, and I guess the owners knew it, and that's why I didn't get one of their new boats. But this ain't my fault, Mr. Trenholm. Don't you see it ain't my fault? I should have known what was aboard, and then I could have been prepared. As it is, this thing is too big for me now, and I'm ready to strike my colours. It's my honour that frets me now." "Your honour!
Then Coach Morton may get an idea of how things are going, and he may see just what he ought to do." "But suppose the muckers all answer the call in force?" inquired Trenholm. "What are we to do then?" "We're to keep out of the squad this year," responded Bayliss promptly.
Trenholm's feet, and we'll fix him so he can navigate back to the boats. You take the lead back, Reddy, because you know the way better than I do, and I'll make Mr. Trenholm fast to ye, and follow on. We'll need to look sharp to make the beach before dark." "But I want my guns, Thirkle. Fair play's fair play, and I want my guns." "Never mind the guns, I say. Mr.
He looked up, and made no attempt to conceal his surprise at seeing Meeker. "Ah! Mr. Trenholm," he said to me, and we shook hands, and the Malay boy gave me the seat opposite him. "Mr. Trego allow me the Reverend Meeker," said Riggs. "So you and Mr. Trenholm have met before?" said Meeker, evidently astonished because Trego spoke to me without an introduction.
