"'Tween you and me, the Honey and me have been talkin the matter over," said he, "and we are going fur to fetch Fanny this afternoon." "You ain't told us no news," said Sorrel Top, "has he Miss Hawley?" "I didn't go fur to tell no news, a man never expects to tell women any news." Daddy told this little fib good naturedly, although it was evident that he was the least bit annoyed.
The sea was literally raging beneath, and great masses of livid-looking foam were dashing be- tween the masts, which were oscillating terrifically. It was still dark, and I could only faintly distinguish two figures in the stern, whom, by the sound of their voices, that I caught occasionally above the tumult, I made out to be Curtis and the boatswain.
The ship was no sooner fairly entered into the pass, be tween Blackwell's and Nassau, than he issued an order to secure the guns that had been used, and to clear away the anchors. "Cock-bill the bowers, Sir," he hastily added, in his orders to Trysail.
"Never mind me, daddy," said the young mistress, now quite revived; "if you ain't afraid, you had better assist mammy." She had touched her would-be-protector in a sensitive spot, and he vehemently ejaculated "me afraid; not I. 'Tween you and me, what should I be afraid of, I would like to know?" "Why, of Bloody Jim." The old man glanced dubiously towards the door, and slid out.
"I suppose, Pinto," said Crux, with a smile of contempt, "that you've bin to hear that mad fellow Gough, who's bin howlin' around in these parts of late?" "That's so," retorted Pinto, flushing with sudden anger. "I've been to hear J.B. Gough, an' what's more I mean to take his advice in spite of all the flap-jack soakers 'tween the Atlantic and the Rockies.
"I'll keep thee both beneath my wings" This comfort dear One wing o'er thee and one o'er me; So we are near. And tho' our paths be separate, And thy way be not mine, Yet coming to the mercy-seat, My soul will meet with thine; And "God keep watch 'tween thee and me," I'll whisper there; He blesseth thee, he blesseth me, And we are near.
There were a thousand men on our ship and we wondered how we would possibly move about, for we were marched 'tween decks, and seated on benches ranged alongside deal tables, and when all were aboard there was not room for a man more. It was explained to us that these were our quarters. We could understand them as eating quarters, but where were we to sleep?
But when we come to talking about the road, and who goes by, and who doesn't go by, and about the seventh of September, and wasn't I asleep and dreaming just before the big storm broke? why, I say, sir, No! I don't think I was. 'Tween man and man, Mr. Cary, I don't mind telling your father's son, sir, that 'tis possible I might ha' had a drop more than usual, and ha' been asleep earlier!
Then there's the widish bit 'tween them two big cases, where I twisted round; and after that the cargo's closer together, and nigher the beams, till it got too stiff for me, and I give it up; for I knowed that if I got stuck there, I should have to stay." "Then there is a way on?" I said excitedly. "Kind of a sort of a way, sir.
"Tom," resumed Laramie, in measured seriousness, "it's not you 'n' me can't get on it's men here has made trouble 'tween you and me, Tom. You 'n' me rode this range when we didn't have but one blanket atween us didn't we, Tom?" he demanded in loud tones. Stone, in drunken irresolution, uncocked his gun but held it steady. "That's all right, Laramie," he growled.
